Australia has picked up more points in the OGAE Poll for Eurovision 2026.


Each year the OGAE Eurovision fan clubs from across the world vote for their favourite Eurovision songs ahead of the Contest.


The clubs are part of Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision (OGAE) International who each year conduct a pre-Eurovision Song Contest poll. Every national club casts a vote from all entries participating, using the same scoring system as the one at Eurovision.


Austria is the fourth club to reveal their points with Delta Goodrem's Eclipse for Australia picking up 7 points for finishing 4th in the poll.



Austria's votes were as follows:


12 points - Finland

10 - Denmark

8 - Sweden

7 - AUSTRALIA

6 - Greece

5 - Cyprus

4 - France

3 - Italy

2 - Bulgaria

1 - Moldova




Current OGAE Poll 2026 tally


After four countries have voted, the current standings as of 14 April 2026 are:


  1. Finland – 48 points

  2. AUSTRALIA – 29 points

  3. Greece – 28 points

  4. Cyprus – 28 points

  5. Denmark – 25 points

  6. Sweden – 25 points

  7. Italy – 11 points

  8. Bulgaria – 11 points

  9. France – 10 points

  10. Albania – 5 points

  11. Malta – 3 points

  12. Moldova – 2 points

  13. Montenegro – 2 points

  14. Czechia – 2 points

  15. Israel – 1 point

  16. Norway – 1 point



How does the OGAE poll work?


Within each club, the act that receives the most votes gets 12 points, the second most receives 10 points, and then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point for the remaining acts in descending order of popularity. Just like at Eurovision, OGAE clubs cannot vote for their own country.


On six occasions, the OGAE poll has successfully predicted the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, with a further four OGAE poll winners coming in second or third place.


Previous Eurovision winners that were predicted by the OGAE poll are -


  • 2007 - Serbia - Molitva

  • 2009 - Norway - Fairytale

  • 2012 - Sweden - Euphoria

  • 2013 - Denmark - Only Teardrops

  • 2018 - Israel - Toy

  • 2023 - Sweden - Tattoo
