Score sheet

All countries participating in the contest were required to use televoting and/or SMS voting during both evenings of the contest. In the event of technical difficulties, or if the votes of the country did not meet the EBU threshold, then a back-up jury's results were to be used. Albania and Andorra were the only countries that used juries. A draw was held in Helsinki to establish the order in which the countries presented their votes during the final.

Controversy

The 2007 contest saw the loudest protests yet heard at the event against perceived unfairness in the voting system. Criticism was particularly directed at how certain countries, all in the Eastern half of the continent, were seen to benefit from support in the televoting from their diaspora communities across Europe. Another contentious aspect was how Eastern European countries were seen as being more likley to vote for other neighbouring Eastern nations at the expense of countries in Western Europe who were more likely to distribute their own votes more evenly between East and West. Any such advantages in the voting would make it easier for particular countries to qualify for the final from the semi final, achieve a higher position on the final scoreboard and be more likely to win the contest.

's delegation, suggested many results were "not based solely on the public vote", while also confirming he believed the 12 points Malta gave United Kingdom were a protest against bloc-voting allegedly depriving Malta of a place in the final.

German newspaper Bild commented on the irony that Western European countries pay the largest amount for a competition where they apparently have no chance of winning. Germany's sole winner, Nicole, was also quoted as saying "It is obvious that Eastern European countries engage in dirty trade with points every year. Germany should withdraw from the competition".

who suggested the current voting system is "harmful to the relationship between the peoples of Europe".

In contrast, the EBU and some commentators in West European countries refuted the criticism, insisting the voting reflected the strength of the songs and performances. Some even claimed the criticism was rooted in resentment over Eastern European countries' recent successes in the contest rather than in concerns about fair voting. . The EBU claimed that the results of the Helsinki contest would have remained largely the same (and with the same winner), even if only West European votes had been counted, although this argument fails to take into account the impact of diaspora voting on Western televote results.
