Cardinal Electors
The Cardinal Electors are those members of the College of
Cardinals who have not reached their 80th Birthday on the day
on which a Pope dies. That is, if they turn 80 years of age
before the Pope dies, or on the day he dies, they are ineligible to
vote in the Conclave to elect his successor. However, if they turn
80 years of age the day after the Pope dies they are eligible.
Interestingly, even if they cannot vote they can be elected.
