(c) Every finalist shall have made contributions or achievement which clearly singles that person out over all others in the same field or category. (d) The extraordinary and meritorious contributions or achievements made by the person nominated shall be judged on the basis of their importance, effective- ness, and impact on the well-being of the Commonwealth. (e) Induction. The affirmative vote of nine members of the commission is necessary for the induction of any nominee into the Commonwealth Hall of Fame.
