∙ 10y agoThe maximum number of voting cardinals is now established at 120. All cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote. Due to deaths or poor health, some cardinals may not attend a conclave so the number is generally somewhat less than the 120 limit. In 2013 there were 115 cardinals eligible to attend the conclave and vote.
