3. Brazil (48 voters)
4. France (37 voters)

Only 666 votes were counted, as 3 members voted twice for two different films, so their votes were considered cancelled. Even though it was in the 3^rd place in the nomination phase, Fallen Leaves by Aki Kaurismäki managed to be on the top of the list, with a small majority over The Banshees of Inisherin (2^nd place) then Tár (3^rd place).
