Internal selection

For the first time since 2006, the Spanish broadcaster RTVE opted to use an open selection process to pick its representative.^[3] An assessment committee made up of RTVE professionals created a shortlist from the 95 submissions received between mid-August and September to perform in the second phase, a live casting held in Madrid.^[4][5] Carlos Higes was announced as the selected artist during the broadcast of the MasterChef Celebrity on 3 October 2022.^[5]

Voting

The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition was used, where the results were determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting. Every country had a national jury that consisted of three music industry professionals and two children aged between 10 and 15 who were citizens of the country they represented. The rankings of those jurors were combined to make an overall top ten.^[7]

The online voting consisted of two phases. The first phase of the online voting began on 9 December 2022 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances was shown on the contest's website Junioreurovision.tv before the viewers could vote. After this, voters also had the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting ended on Sunday 11 December at 15:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting took place during the live show and began right after the last performance and was open for 15 minutes. International viewers were able vote for three songs.^[8] They were also able to vote for their own country's song. These votes were then turned into points which were determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song received 10% of the votes, it received 10% of the available points.

At the end of the voting, Spain finished in sixth place, coming in sixth with 59 points in the jury vote (including a maximum twelve points from the United Kingdom; Spain was also one of only two countries, along with Georgia, that managed to earn points from every national jury other than their own) and second with 78 points in the online vote. Spain awarded their twelve points to the host country, Armenia.
