In the first round, three songs will be selected through a combination of jury voting and televote. In the superfinal, the winner will be chosen solely by televote. The jury for the final will consist of at least seven members, including international music experts actively involved in the making, publishing, or teaching of pop music.

For the first time in history, viewers outside of Estonia will be able to vote for their favourites in Eesti Laul. Viewers will be able to vote in both rounds of voting on eestilaul.vote. A maximum of 20 votes can be cast per person per round.
