A total of 1637 people voted so far, but the full results are yet to be known so that we have a winner. These full results will be known around early May, right before the Eurovision Song Contest’s live shows start in Liverpool on May 9.

Last year, more than 3,500 people voted across 43 OGAE national clubs, and Sweden was the winner of the OGAE Poll 2022 with “Hold Me Closer” by Cornelia Jakobs. As of today, Sweden may be up for a second victory in a row, but Finland could grab the crown!
