The reversal of the votes of the press room and the radio jury, which allowed Angelina Mango to win the victory in Sanremo 2024 against Geolier, the absolute king of televoting, holds sway the day after the closure of the festival.
The Neapolitan rapper had received 60% of the audience's votes at home, compared to 16.1% for the Lucanian artist, who came out on top in the final ranking with 40.3% compared to Geolier's overall 25.2%. .
Among other things, during the evening anomalies emerged in the televoting: some competing artists also reported technical problems.
"Televoting is working regularly: we spoke with Telecom representatives present here and with the notaries.

There is an avalanche of votes that are regularly acquired, but the confirmation message does not arrive.
Given the mass of preferences, Telecom has given priority to the acquisition of the votes themselves.
This was confirmed by the notaries and Telecom representatives who are here", explained Rai. Today, however, Codacons and Assoutenti are asking for clarity. "Rai will have to provide all the data regarding the votes expressed by the public through televoting and those of the individual members of the juries of the press room and of the radios", writes Codacons, which announced a request to the Communications Authority, to Rai itself and to Mimit following the technical difficulties encountered by many spectators during televoting operations. The request clarification also comes from Assoutenti: "What is certain is that every year the Sanremo televoting, as well as that used by other television programs that are widely followed by the public, is at the center of controversy and protests: for this reason we propose to Rai the opening of a discussion table with consumer associations, aimed at studying new voting systems alternative to televoting starting from the next edition of the Festival which are fairer and capable of guaranteeing greater transparency to the public".

Rai, for its part, explains that "a reflection will be made and an attempt will be made to understand the voting methods at the festival, given the large turnout of the popular vote", explains the director of the press office, Fabrizio Casinelli.
And Amadeus comments: "Already the first problem for the next artistic director."
