There are currently 139 cardinal electors. The current apostolic constitution establishes that the maximum number of cardinal electors is 120, but this is more of a guideline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Italy has the most cardinals of all: 17, although their presence in the College of Cardinals has decreased considerably during this pontificate. At the 2013 conclave, there were 28 cardinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second country with the most cardinal electors is the United States with 10. Next is Brazil with 7 and Spain with 6, although in 2025, it will lose three because they will turn 80 and at that age they lose the right to participate in a possible conclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a continental level, Europe continues to hold the most weight with 55 electors. Next is Asia, but with less than half, at 24. Oceania with 4 is the country with the fewest cardinal electors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
