There were 158 electors. In 1976 a new system of election was implemented. From now on, candidates are to be listed by category, i.e., (1) Arts and Humanities, (2) Sciences, and (3) Government, Business, and Labor. The electors are given a list of possible inductees and then are asked to rate them by number in order of preference. Only one candidate from each category will be chosen each election.

The change to a point system in place of a majority vote means that each time there is an election, someone is bound to be elected from each area of nomination.

There were 149 names submitted to the judges, including 9 carry-overs from the balloting in 1973.
