How does the OGAE poll work?
The clubs are part of Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision (OGAE) International.
Every year since 2007, OGAE has conducted a pre-Eurovision Song Contest poll in which every national club cast a vote from all entries participating, using the same scoring system as the one at Eurovision.
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 three 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'
After 39 countries have voted the Top 5 as of 25 April 2024 are -
Italy - 267 points
Croatia - 260 points
Switzerland - 228 points
Belgium - 182 points
France - 134 points
