As an ardent fan of the Eurovision Song Contest, it troubles me to see the integrity of the competition potentially compromised by the current voting system. Reports suggest that by using multiple bank cards, viewers can cast as many as 20 votes per device, leading to concerns about vote manipulation. This undermines one of the fundamental principles of Eurovision: fair and democratic participation.

The essence of the Eurovision Song Contest lies in its celebration of music, diversity, and cultural expression, bringing countries together in a unique showcase of talent. Yet, when the voting system allows for potential exploitation, it places doubt on the legitimacy of the results. I believe that it is crucial we implement measures to preserve the sanctity of this beloved international event.

Limiting votes from the Eurovision app to 20 per email address would be a feasible step toward ensuring a fairer competition. This change would help curb attempts at vote manipulation while still granting fans the opportunity to support multiple acts. Furthermore, it aligns with the principles of fairness and transparency that are central to the Eurovision ethos.

I urge the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to consider revising the current voting system to reflect these changes. By doing so, we can safeguard the competition's integrity, ensure fair play among contestants, and maintain trust with the global audience.

Please join me in calling for these essential reforms to the Eurovision voting system. Sign this petition to make your voice heard and help preserve the spirit of Eurovision for future generations.
