- Timing: The final usually occurs in the evening local time in the host country, with the result announced at the end of the broadcast.

Please check your local broadcaster’s schedule for the exact time in your region. [General pattern: final broadcast ends with winner reveal]

This framework has been in place for several recent contests. [General pattern: 50/50 voting, final reveal after tally]
