According to Mason Jr., the process is simple, as all the people who vote for the Grammys are members of the Recording Academy. To become a member, one must be a music professional in the United States.

The Recording Academy announced that they have been working towards building diversity and inclusivity in the voting base to accurately represent a diverse range of relevant musical genres and stay aligned with the ever-evolving musical landscape.

The 2024 Grammy Awards ceremony was evident of a smudge of that but the insistence on art makes a lot more sense than not.
