<P> According to one study of Eurovision voting patterns, certain countries tend to form "clusters" or "cliques" by frequently voting in the same way . </P> <P> After the interval act is over, when all the points have been calculated, the presenter (s) of the show call upon each voting country in turn to invite them to announce the results of their vote . Prior to 1994 the announcements were made over telephone lines; with the audio being piped into the auditorium for the audience to hear, and over the television transmission . However, since and including 1994 the announcements have been presented visually . Often the opportunity is taken by each country to show their spokesperson standing in front of a backdrop which includes a famous place in that country . For example, the French spokesperson might be seen standing in front of the Eiffel Tower or an Italian presenter might be seen with the Colosseum in the background . </P> <P> From 1957 to 1962, the participating countries were called in reverse order of the presentation of their songs, and from 1963 to 2003, they were called in the same order in which their songs had been presented (except for 1974). Since 2004, when semi-finals were introduced, the order of the countries' announcements of votes has changed; and the countries that did not make it to the final each year could also vote . In 2004, the countries were called in alphabetical order (according to their ISO codes). In 2005, the votes from the non-qualifying semi-finalists were announced first, in their running order on the Thursday night; then the finalists gave their votes in their own order of performance . Between 2006 and 2010, like in 1974, a separate draw was held to determine the order in which countries would present their votes . From 2011 to 2015, the voting order was determined by the results of a jury the day before the final so as to create as much suspense as possible when the votes were revealed . </P> <P> From 1971 to 1973, each country sent two jurors, who were present at the contest venue (though the juries in 1972 were locked away in the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle) and announced their votes as the camera was trained on them . In 1973 one of the Swiss jurors made a great show of presenting his votes with flamboyant gestures . This system was retired the next year . </P>
