This change means that any viewers in a country that is not competing in the contest will be able to vote online for the first time. There will be a Rest of the World online vote in the two semi finals as well as the grand final, there is no calling or SMS options in the Rest of the World vote, votes are accepted through online voting only.
(...) Rest of the World is open not only to those across the world that are not in the European Broadcasting Union, but also those inside the union that chose to miss this year, yet may have previously made appearances, such as North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Montenegro that all appeared in the 2022 contest in Turin.
