The 2005 Hall of Fame election will be conducted between 26
July and 9 August. The nominee who receives the most votes
from the 4900+ vpFREE members will be the 2005 Hall of Fame
inductee. Each vpFREE member may cast one vote for one
nominee, and can change their vote at any time during the
voting period. If there is a tie vote, the vpFREE
Administrative Committee will break the tie and determine the
2005 inductee.
This process will be repeated in 2006 and 2007. In 2008 and
subsequent years, an inductee must win the popular vote, and
then receive approval of 75% of the voting members in a second
election. If the popular vote winner doesn't receive 75%
approval, there won't be an inductee that year.
Between now and 26 JUL, additional nominees can be suggested
by vpFREE members (along with their qualifications), and
the merits of anyone's favorite can be expounded and
discussed. Any suggested nominee(s) who receive majority
approval from the Administrative Committee will be added to
the list of nominees.
