Australia reveal their OGAE Poll 2025 votes & receive points from Azerbaijan

Australia has revealed their votes in the OGAE Poll for Eurovision 2025! 

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

39 countries have revealed their votes so far in this year's poll and today it was Australia's turn.

Here's how Australia voted (213 voters)

12 points - Sweden

10 points - Malta

8 points - Finland

7 points - Austria

6 points - Netherlands

5 points - Germany

4 points - Spain

3 points - Estonia

2 points - Poland

1 point - Denmark

The points were mainly collected by attendees at the recent Eurovision preview parties put on by the club in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Only the votes of OGAE Australia members at those parties counted towards the total.

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.

Australia receives points from Azerbaijan!

Australia has received another three points in the OGAE poll for 2025 from Azerbaijan!

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
