Presenters

In October 2018, Sarah Dawn Finer, Kodjo Akolor, Marika Carlsson and Eric Saade were announced as the presenters for Melodifestivalen.

Voting

The public vote previously used a simple majority to decide the places, but concerns had been raised over a growing bias through the way votes were cast: that votes cast through the app were giving an unfair weight to younger voters, as older voters tended to cast theirs though the telephone vote. For 2019, SVT changed to a system of eight groups: those using the app voted within one of seven age groups, and telephone votes were in the eighth group.

These groups were weighted equally against each other: for the heats, each group's vote would carry a score of 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1; for the final, 12, 10, 8–1 (thus entries in 11th and 12th receiving no points); for the second chance round, each group gave one point to the most popular entry of each duel. The scores within each round were then added together to decide the places. In the final, to ensure equal weight was given to the public vote and the international jury vote, the number of countries involved was reduced from eleven to eight.[3]

2019's edition also saw an end to voting by SMS, due to a decline in usage.

Competing entries

The twenty-eight competing entries were announced to the public during a press conference on 27 November 2018.
