NATCHITOCHES -- Voting opens Tuesday for a 10-day period in the selection process for Northwestern State's 2025 N-Club Hall of Fame class honoring some of the Demons' most accomplished athletic figures, with participation open for the first time to all of the university's former athletic letterwinners.
 
Voting will be conducted online through the N-Club link on the NSUDemons.com website. The 2025 ballot will be posted for review, and letterwinners will be able to cast their ballots for their top choices without having to compile a list.
 
Announcement of the start of the voting cycle will be made Tuesday morning. Deadline to vote will be midnight Thursday, July 17.
 
Previously, only paid members of the N-Club were able to vote.
 
Now, those N-Club members' votes will be weighted on a 3-to-1 ratio. Paid members' votes will count three times as much as an unpaid letterwinner's vote, per a recommendation from the N-Club selection committee.
 
N-Club membership is free for just-graduated first-year athletic alumni. Dues afterwards are $120 annually ($10 monthly) with discounted longer-term rates available.
 
Anyone who pays N-Club membership dues prior to the voting deadline will have the 3-to-1 valuation applied to their ballot. Votes are compiled on a weighted point structure.
 
Selection of the N-Club Hall of Fame inductees is made by a combination of online voting along with assessment of the N-Club selection committee, which is comprised of over a dozen former competitors and staff members representing the range of sports contested at Northwestern. The online voting results are a primary factor.
 
Approximately a dozen former athletic standouts will be honored on Homecoming weekend, culminating with a morning induction ceremony Saturday, Oct. 4.
