The final took place on 15 March 1986 at the Ari TV studios in Ankara, hosted by Erkan Yolaç. Four songs competed and the winner was determined by a sixteen-member jury. As there was a tie at the end of the voting, the head of the jury ended up having his vote counted twice, resulting in the victory of "Halley" performed by Klips ve Onlar.[1] [2]
