Due to a tie in voting, both Dean and Husky will be inducted in the veteran era artists category. An artist becomes eligible in that category 45 years after first achieving national prominence. Sherrill will join in the non-performer category, presented every three years in rotation with the recording and/or touring musician and songwriter categories. Williams will be inducted in the modern era artist category. An artist becomes eligible in that category 20 years after first achieving national prominence. Their inductions will raise membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame from 108 to 112.
