ESCToday, in an exclusive collaboration with the INFE Network for the 3rd year in a row, will be presenting you the results from each of the 22 participating fan clubs around the continent and beyond, up until the winner’s declaration!

Day by day, each individual fan club of the INFE (International Network of Fanclubs of Eurovision) Network will be voting for their favourite Eurovision 2019 entries within the traditional Eurovision style: 12 points for their top favourite song, 10 points for their second favourite and from 8 to 1 point for the rest countries making up their Top 10! Who will gather the most “douze points” this year?

Following the results from INFE Armenia, it’s time we headed not far away, as the next individual fan club to award its points is this from Turkey! Although the country has been absent from the contest since 2013, the fans’ love for Eurovision is not a thing of the past. How has their club voted this year?
