The jurors of the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 play a large role in the voting process of the Contest. For the final round, each country's votes will be decided by a combination of 50% televoting by the public and 50% by national jury. The method of selecting the semi-final qualifiers will remain the same as in past years, however, with nine countries in each semi-final which qualified based on the televoting results, and a tenth coming from the juries.
