Following the death of Pope Francis, the election for a new pope is set to commence within 15 to 20 days. A conclave, led by either the dean of cardinals or, in this case, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the secretary of state, gathers eligible cardinals under 80 in the Sistine Chapel. They utilize secret ballots, with voting capped at four per day, and require a two-thirds majority to succeed. If no candidate wins after multiple votes, a run-off occurs to select the new pope.
The election of a new pope begins 15 to 20 days after the previous pope's death, overseen by the dean of cardinals, or if ineligible, the secretary of state.
Cardinal electors, all under 80, gather in the Sistine Chapel to cast secret ballots. The voting can occur up to four times a day until a two-thirds majority is reached.
