== Detailed voting results<span class="anchor" id="Scoreboard"></span> == <!-- Anchor in the header is the old section name --> Each participating broadcaster assembled a 20-member jury panel who awarded their five favourite songs 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points in order. All those points would then be added up and the five songs with the most points got 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 votes in order. Errors in the Norwegian (see below) and the Monegasque votes meant their scores had to be announced twice, with an adjustment to the scores being made in each case before the final score was verified. One controversy this year was during the voting. When it was {{Esccnty|Norway|y=1963}}'s turn to announce their votes, the spokesman in Oslo did not use the correct procedure in that the song number, followed by the name of the country, should have been announced before awarding the points. Boyle asked Norway to repeat their results, but the Norwegian spokesman asked Boyle to return to them after all the other results were in. When Boyle went back to Norway again the votes had been altered, thus changing the outcome of the contest and giving the victory to {{Esccnty|Denmark|y=1963}} at {{Esccnty|Switzerland|y=1963}}'s expense. In fact, the Norwegian spokesman had not given the correct votes on the first occasion, because votes from the 20 jury members were still being tallied.<ref name=ESC1963/> The Swiss participating broadcaster, [[Swiss Broadcasting Corporation|SRG SSR]], reportedly intended to appeal and following numerous complaints, checked the transmissions of the votes made.<ref>{{cite news |title=La Suisse remporte la deuxième place et... aurait l'intention de présenter un recours |trans-title=Switzerland wins second place and... reportedly intends to appeal |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=EXR19630325-01.1.15 |access-date=30 December 2024 |work=[[L'Express (Switzerland)|Feuille d'Avis de Neuchatel]] |page=15 |date=25 March 1963 |location=[[Neuchâtel]], Switzerland |language=fr |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Le grand prix Eurovision de la chanson: fâcheux malentendu! |trans-title=The Eurovision Song Contest: a nasty misunderstanding! |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=JDJ19630326-01.1.14 |access-date=30 December 2024 |work=[[Journal du Jura]] |page=14 |date=26 March 1963 |location=[[Biel/Bienne|Bienne]], Switzerland |language=fr |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]]}}</ref> It was confirmed a month after the contest that the Norwegian jury didn't change their votes.<ref>{{cite news |title=Le jury norvégien n'avait pas modifié son vote |trans-title=The Norwegian jury did not change its vote |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=EXR19630422-01.1.19 |access-date=30 December 2024 |work=Feuille d'Avis de Neuchatel |agency=[[Swiss Telegraphic Agency]] (SDA-ATS) |page=19 |date=26 March 1963 |location=Neuchâtel, Switzerland |language=fr |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]]}}</ref> Monaco was also asked to repeat their voting a second time as initially Monaco gave one point to both the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. However, when Boyle went back to Monaco to receive the votes again Monaco's one vote to Luxembourg was efficiently discarded (although this did not have any effect on the positions of the countries).<ref name=ESC1963/> {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;" |- |+ Detailed voting results<ref>{{cite web |title=London 1963 – Detailed voting results |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/london-1963/final/results |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=30 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210330122713/https://eurovision.tv/event/london-1963/final/results |archive-date=30 March 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Eurovision Song Contest 1963 – Scoreboard |url=https://eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=280#Scoreboard |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=14 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150709045744/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=280#Scoreboard |archive-date=9 July 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> |- !
