It's the same 10-point process that's been used in recent years. Players can use the 10 points across 1, 2 or 3 candidates (or submit a blank ballot for the lolz, but would assume you won't get one again).

The press release announcing the 2015 PHOF class mentions a 39-person voting panel - http://www.wsop.com/news/2015/Oct/75...S-OF-2015.html There are 23 living Poker Hall of Fame members, and am assuming all voted.

The press release from last year mentioned 41 individuals - http://www.wsop.com/news/2014/Oct/50...S-OF-2014.html
