The organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest have announced new voting rules intended to reduce the influence of governments on the public voting process. The changes come after concerns were raised about government-backed campaigns, particularly following a strong push by Israel's government for votes in the most recent contest. The European Broadcasting Union will now limit the number of votes each viewer can cast to ten per voting method, down from twenty, in an effort to ensure fairness and discourage disproportionate promotion. The move follows ongoing controversy surrounding Israel's participation, with some national broadcasters threatening to withdraw from future contests if Israel remains involved.
