The voting systems used in the Contest have changed only once during contest run. Since 2nd edition countries award a set of points from 1 to 8, then 10 and finally 12 to other songs in the competition — with the favourite song being awarded 12 points. Due to a lower number of participants, in the 1st edition voting system was different.

Tie-breakers

In the event of a tie for first place and for other places after all the points have been announced, there is a tie-break procedure. A tie-break procedure is exactly the same used in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The current tie-breaking rule is that, in the event that two or more countries tie for first place and for other places the song that received points from the greater number of countries is the winner. This system is sometimes called the "count-back". If there is still a tie, the second tie-breaker is to count the number of countries who assigned twelve points to each entry in the tie. Tie-breaks continue with ten points, eight points, and so on until the tie is resolved.

In Internatia Song Contest history, the tie-break procedure to determine winner of contest was not used until ISC 33. After that the tie-breaker was used for ISC 76 and ISC 88.

The Waiting List voting also has a tie-breaker procedure to determine the points that the list as a whole would give: normal tie solving procedures for when a tie is solvable are same as for the ties that occur for first and other places; but should a tie be unsolvable, the priority of a placing goes to whoever did better in the regular voting (i.e.: the votes casted by just the roster countries).

Voting status

Since the 16th edition, all participating nations are obligated to vote in final of particular edition, even if they fail to qualify from the semi-final.

1) The consequences of not voting in the final may lead to the removal of your country under these circumstances:

- If you do not vote on your debut (when you joined the main roster), your country will no longer exist.

- As for all other participants, if you do not participate twice in a row, your country will be removed from the main roster.

- If you do not vote in the final of an edition you are participating in twice in a row, your country will be removed from the main roster.

- If you fail to vote or send an entry before a given deadline, vote or send an entry after deadline, or fail to vote or participate at all in 3 out of the last 12 editions; your country will be removed from the main roster. You can only get one penalty per edition.

2) Exceptions are of course accepted. Please post your reason in the ISC subforum or PM it to the mods (Alex, santos, Brent and NancyAura) and they will review your reason for not voting, or being unable to vote in the future.
