The award is voted on by 28 members of the Baseball Writers Association Of America . Each places a vote for first, second, and third place among the pitchers of each league. The Formula used to calculate the final scores is a weighted sum of the votes: Score = 5F + 3S + T, where ''F'' is the number of first place votes, ''S'' is second place votes, and ''T'' is third place votes. The pitcher with the highest score in each league wins the award. If two pitchers receive the same number of votes, the award is shared.

The current formula started with the 1970 season. Prior to that, writers only voted for the best pitcher and used a formula of one point per vote.
