When will Ukraine vote?
Singer LELÉKA, who is representing our country at Eurovision this year, will perform in the second semi-final, which will take place on May 14. It is during this broadcast that Ukrainians will be able to participate in the voting.
If you are not in Ukraine, but this country is participating in the contest, you can vote through the official Eurovision App or via SMS.
If the viewer is in Poland, they will not be able to vote for the representative of that country. However, they can vote for the representative of Ukraine.
But! If you are in Ukraine, you won't be able to vote for LELÉKA. According to Eurovision rules, Eurovision fans cannot vote for their representative.
The same rules apply to the grand final.
The broadcast can be watched on the “Public Culture” TV channel, as well as online on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
