It’s time for yet another year of voting in the OGAE Poll for 2018! ESCToday, in collaboration with OGAE International for the 11th year running, will be bringing and presenting the results of each of the voting OGAE clubs, each of whom will be voting for that song and country they would like to see winning the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, this year being hosted in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.

Voting is well and truly underway across the OGAE fan clubs, each of whom are currently conducting their votes in the 2018 edition of the returning OGAE Poll. With 44 clubs OGAE clubs set to vote in the upcoming poll, which entry is set to become the favourite of the OGAE International clubs for 2018?

This year’s poll kicks off with the results from OGAE France, with a total of 225 members casting their votes. Who managed to top the board of the first 2018 OGAE Poll votes?
