The number of songs depends on the concept RTV SLO has made.
A running order is decided by the competition's supervisors to ensure that similar songs and artists are kept apart in the final.
The winner will represent Slovenia in the International Music Festival.

The current voting format is a positional voting system similar to that used at the Eurovision Song Contest. In the final, international juries each award 12,10,8,6,4,2 points to all songs.
In the Super-Final, juries and televoters split an amount of points between the two songs with most votes from the Final.
