EY US Verifies Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Fan Ballot

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will announce its 2020 inductees this Wednesday, January 15. More than 8.2 million votes were cast in the official Fan Vote – an increase from the 3.3 million votes in 2018 – on a new digital platform designed and developed by Ernst & Young LLP (EY US), the professional services firm.

EY US designed and implemented the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s electronic fan vote process on rockhall.com, enhancing the user experience and developing a new platform that provides the necessary security and scale to enable a seamless and safe interactive experience for the growing audience.

“The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s collaboration with EY amplifies the Fan Vote. We are leveraging digital technologies and partnerships to engage fans across platforms,” said Greg Harris, President & CEO, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “These votes represent the millions of memories that these artists and their songs have created for fans all over the world.”

As the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame continues its digital transformation throughout its 25th anniversary, recent initiatives include the increased protection and expanded engagement of its Fan Vote; new online educational resources for teachers at edu.rockhall.com; the new permanent, interactive Garage exhibit at the Museum; and an enhanced website featuring “from the vault” content, including never-before-seen Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony programs and performances as well as curated digital tours for pre-visit planning and engagement.

“The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the pinnacle of musical achievement, and we wanted to help create a platform of the same caliber by creating a world-class fan experience and leveraging new technology and capabilities,” said Fran Exley, EY Americas Digital Strategy & Transformation Leader. “We are proud to be assisting the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with its digital transformation.”

The EY US project lead and technical architect Bob Rullo added, “We focused our work on creating a platform that is scalable and secure to give the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and its fans a desirable user interface they can use for years to come.”

Inductees will be announced on Wednesday, January 15, at 8 a.m. ET via Rock Hall’s social media channels and live on SiriusXM VOLUME channel 106’s Feedback morning show, broadcasting from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
