Structure and Rules for New England Jazz Hall of Fame Voting

The criteria for making the selections was strictly up to the voters, but the nominees list included only deceased artists who were born in New England, relocated to the region, or spent a significant part of their lives here.

Each of the 172 invited voters was entitled to cast a TOTAL OF 20 VOTES, distributed in any manner, but with a MAXIMUM OF 10 VOTES FOR ANY ONE NOMINEE. (For example: Those who felt very strongly about two of the nominees entering the Hall, might have cast all 20 of their votes for them -- 10 votes each.) The top 10 vote-getters will be inducted.

A space was left at the bottom of the ballots for suggested additions to next year’s Hall of Fame voting list.

(The great majority of Hall of Fame voters were not members of the New England Jazz Alliance, but all were invited to join for the usual membership fees.)
