The Eurovision Song Contest is changing its rules. The organisers want to stop unfair voting. Now, fans can vote 10 times for one singer.

The EBU says this is not fair. They are going to use a new system. In the future, all voting is going to be online.

People must choose their three favourite songs. They cannot give all points to one person. The EBU wants to stop political voting.

Last year, some countries asked fans to vote many times. This created a big problem. Many people were worried about the results.

The EBU thinks online voting is better. The UK already uses this system. The contest is also making other changes.

Now, singers must be 18 years old. Also, countries in war cannot host the show. In 2027, the contest is going to be in Bulgaria.

A singer named Dara won the competition this year. She won the public vote and the jury vote. The next show is going to be in May.

The organisers hope these changes make the contest fair. They want fans to focus on the music. They want fans to look at the performances.

More details are going to come soon. Everyone is going to see the new rules. The fans are going to be happy now.

The show is going to be very exciting. Every singer is going to have a fair chance. The contest is going to stay popular for a long time.

The EBU is going to talk to every country. They are going to explain the new online system today. People are going to wait for the next show.

It is going to be a great event in Bulgaria.
