Poland: TVP publishes detailed televoting results of Eurovision 2023 selection after court order… showing Jann received 41% of the votes

Those who love Eurodrama and shock results during national final season might still remember Poland’s Tu bije serce Europy! Wybieramy hit na Eurowizję! Local favourite Jann and his song “Gladiator” won the televote but lost out on the trip to Eurovision 2023 after only finishing fourth with the jury, with Blanka ultimately flying the Polish flag in Liverpool instead. The selection became the centre of internet theories and accusations of cronyism.

In an attempt to clear the air and to create more transparency, Polish Eurovision fans have been seeking answers for almost two years now.

OGAE Poland, the Eurovision fans club in the country, filed a case at the Voivoidship Administrative Court of Warsaw. In a court decision on 6 June this year, the court ruled that TVP should have published the detailed results of the televoting. Almost half a year later, TVP has now provided OGAE Poland with the results. 

Polish Eurovision news site Eurowizja.org noted that “The [court] in Warsaw agreed that the results of viewers’ voting and the indication of whether a notary supervised the course of the pre-selection constitute public information, and [TVP], by refusing to provide this information, violated the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure.”

The results, published by OGAE Poland and Eurowizja.org, reveal Jann won the televoting with over 18,000 votes. This equates to 41% of all votes cast — a landslide victory.

Blanka, the eventual overall winner, received a little over 6,000 votes, which was 13% of the total. Dominik Dudek closely followed in third with just under 200 votes less than Blanka.

The full breakdown is as follows:

1. Jann – 18,665 votes – 41%
2. Blanka – 6,020 votes – 13%
3. Dominik Dudek – 5,823 votes – 13%
4. Yan Majewski – 4,576 votes – 10%
5. Felivers – 4,123 votes – 9%
6. Alicja Szemplińska – 3,647 votes – 8%
7. Maja Hyzy – 857 votes – 2%
8. Kuba Szmajkowski – 751 votes – 2%
9. Natasza – 571 votes – 1%
10. Ahlena – 340 votes – 1%

Although the full public breakdown has now been unveiled, the individual votes of the jury remain under wraps. The court decided that these results do not have to be published.

OGAE Poland has stated to Eurowizja that they disagree with this and will submit an appeal. This appeal will be dealt with at the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland.
