No. Only cardinals under 80 years of age are eligible to vote for the new pope.
In addition, the elector cardinals must be able to travel to Rome for the conclave, so if they are too ill or otherwise detained then they will not be able to vote.
There may also be "secret" cardinals in countries where the Church is persecuted where the "secret" cardinal may not even know that the Pope had given him this honor. Pope John Paul II is known to have created a "secret" cardinal. "Secret" cardinals would not be able to vote for a new pope and stay secret.

Each cardinal writes only the name of the person they are voting for. The ballots are counted and voting continues until one person has a two-thirds majority.
