The Greek branch of the international OGAE network have sent in the result of the local Eurovision Song Contest 2009 poll. Although Norway, the obvious 2009 fan favourite (so far at least), still receives high points from the Greeks, their maximum points go to France.

The results of the Greek branch of OGAE is as follows:

12 France (533 points)
10 Norway (478 points)
8 Spain (421 points)
7 Turkey (289 points)
6 Bosnia & Herzegovina (264 points)
5 Estonia (262 points)
4 Azerbaijan (245 points)
3 United Kingdom (217 points)
2 Sweden (212 points)
1 Switzerland (187 points)

Just missing out:
Iceland (180 points)
Cyprus (145 points)
Lithuania (122 points)

With Norway still in the lead in the OGAE clubs voting, OGAE Greece's verdict gives a considerable boost to Patricia Kaas who climbs four places to # 4. Turkey becomes second with 24 points, followed by Spain in third place. Greece drops fifth place, as obviously the local club cannot vote for their own entry. Jade from the United Kingdom receives her first 3 points from Greece, entering thus the OGAE poll scoreboard.

After four OGAE national jury votings, the scoreboard looks like:

1. Norway, 46 points↔
2. Turkey, 24 points ↑
3. Spain, 22 points ↑
4. France, 20 points ↑
5. Greece, 17 points ↓
6. Azerbaijan, 15 points ↔
7. Sweden, 13 points ↓
