The points were totaled and the first, second, and third placed songs were awarded 5, 3, and 1 votes in order. If only one song got every point within the jury it would get all 9 points. If only two songs were chosen, the songs would get 6 and 3 points in order. |

The Eurovision Song Contest 1964 was the ninth Eurovision Song Contest. A political protest occurred after the Swiss entry: a man trespassed onto the stage holding a banner that read "Boycott Franco & Salazar". Whilst this was going on, television viewers were shown a shot of the scoreboard; once the man was removed the contest went on.
Italy's win was their first. Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia each scored nul points for the first time. Portugal was the first country to score no points on their debut. The Netherlands became the first country to send a singer of non-European ancestry. Anneke Grönloh was of Indonesian descent. It would take until 1966 before the first black singer, Milly Scott also of the Netherlands, would appear on Eurovision stage. Milly was born and raised in Suriname.
As with the 1956 contest, no video recording of this contest is known to survive; again like the 1956 contest, an audio recording does exist.
Reports say that this is because there was a fire at the studios of DR, the Danish Broadcaster, in the 1970s. No other broadcaster recorded the entire show other than for the Winners' reprise.
