Voting at Melodifestivalen

The voting procedures to select the entrant for the annual contest have varied over the years since the country's debut in 1958.

[1] Televoting was permanently reintroduced in 1999, but the regional jury system was retained, and given a 50% weighting in the overall results.

Under the current voting system the record is 181 points, achieved by John Lundvik in 2019 with the song "Too Late for Love".

Two songs have scored top marks from each voting region: Carola Häggkvist in 1983 with "Främling", and Arvingarna in 1993 with "Eloise", however, in 1993, experimental televoting was used and the two are not entirely comparable.

The biggest victory in terms of points as a percentage of the total possible score is also held by Carola and "Främling", which defeated Kikki Danielsson's "Varför är kärleken röd?"

SVT has eleven news districts, each of which was represented by a jury in the final of Melodifestivalen from 1974 to 2009.
