The bylaws stipulate that the committee vote for 25 semifinalists but allows for additional candidates to proceed in the process in the case of a tie vote for the 25th position.
The selection committee now will reduce the field to 12 finalists. The Hall will announce the results of those reduction votes on July 27.
