Un total de 135 cardenales, con una media de 70 años y nombrados en su mayoría por el papa Francisco, deberán reunirse en cónclave para elegir al próximo pontífice. Sin embargo, por el momento serán 133 cardenales, debido a dos bajas por razones de salud.

Así las cosas, la mayoría para nombrar al nuevo Pontífice quedará en 89 votos.
