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
