Although there were 183 cardinals in all, cardinals over the age of 80 at the time the papacy fell vacant were ineligible to vote in the conclave according to rules enacted by Pope Paul VI in 1971 and modified slightly in 1996 by John Paul II.

 Context:Rome - The Papal Conclave
The ceremony of the election of a pope is called a conclave, a word deriving from the Latin cum clave which means "with a key," indicating that the cardinals are sequestered from all prying eyes and ears, as well as from those who would want to influence their decision.
A new option was given by Pope John Paul II in his revision of the conclave procedures in 1996 in the document "Universi Dominici Gregis": after 12 days of voting, the cardinals can decide to move to a simple majority of half the votes, or to limit the voting for the top two candidates.
The cardinals voting in the recent conclave represent fifty countries on six continents, a fact which expresses the true diversity and universality of the Church.

 USATODAY.com - Cardinal diary details papal conclave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
VATICAN CITY (AP) — A cardinal has broken his vow of secrecy and released his diary describing the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI, revealing in an exceedingly rare account that a cardinal from Argentina was the main challenger and almost blocked Benedict's election.
Most accounts of the conclave have said retired Milan archbishop Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini was the main challenger to Ratzinger, who became Benedict XVI after his election, and that a Third World pope was never realistically in the running.
Nothing official is ever recorded from conclaves and the ballots are burned in the Sistine Chapel stove — ashes that signal to the world through white smoke or fl whether a pope has been elected.

 CBC News Indepth: The Pope
The conclave process that was followed by those princes of the church was ordered by Pope John Paul II in 1996, but it hasn't always been that way.
The first conclave, from the Latin phrase meaning "with a key," came about by happenstance in 1241, when a Roman senator locked cardinals into a cramped, dirty room in the hope of forcing a quick decision.
Still, in 2005, there was some confusion over the colour of the smoke as the image of the Vatican's chimney was seen on television screens and web cams around the world.

 National Catholic Reporter: How a pope is elected
Conclave veterans say most of the heavy lifting involved in electing a pope happens out of public view.
They agreed it would be a difficult conclave, for while the progressives had a large vote in the council, the curialists and conservatives certainly remained strong within the College of Cardinals.
With ballots, historians sometimes dispute the exact number (there is only one official record of each conclave, and it lies in a sealed envelope in the papal archives).

The word "conclave" comes from the Latin for "with key," and implies that the cardinals are locked in a room until a new pope is chosen.
