The voting system was changed this year. Each country could only vote for three songs, giving 3 points to their favorite song, 2 to the second and 1 to the third. The low amount of points being distributed resulted in being the first year with countries that ended with 0 points. Four countries ended with no points in their scoreboard: Belgium, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands. This is the highest number of countries ending with no points in a festival tied with 1963, 1964 and 1965.
