[3] Spain originally gave its 12 points to Israel and 10 to Norway. After the broadcast it was announced that the Spanish broadcaster had wrongly tallied the votes and Germany should have received 12 points instead of zero, as shown during the broadcast. The mistake was corrected and thus Germany received the 12 points. Israel and Norway both received 2 points less than originally and Croatia, Malta, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia and Turkey all received one point less than indicated during the broadcast.
