SVT, the Swedish broadcaster and host of the 58th Eurovision Song Contest have released the break down of the jury vote for Sweden both in the 1st semi-final and the grand final held last week in Malmö.

The Swedish jury comprising five music field professionals voted according to the new voting procedure included in the 2013 rules of the Eurovision Song Contest. The new rule dictates that each member votes for every song on the show awarding points from 1 (favourite song) to 16 in the semi-final and 26 in the final for their least favourite song. The result is then combined with that of the televoting and gives the country’s result.
