The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has amended its bylaws to allow emeritus members of the HFPA to vote on the annual Golden Globes, as well as enshrine a proposal to allow a new pool of non-members to vote on the awards, TheWrap has learned.

Any active members and Emeritus members “in good standing” may participate in Golden Globes voting, according to a draft copy of the new bylaws obtained by TheWrap. There are currently 102 active members and three emeritus members — and the latter had not been allowed to vote on the Golden Globes, though could still attend press conferences or serve on committees, though none of the three currently do.
