Cardinals Yet to Agree on New Pope as Conclave Continues

The conclave of cardinals in Vatican City has not yet reached an agreement on who will be the next pope, leading to multiple rounds of voting.

Prolonged Voting Process

The voting process lasted longer than anticipated, possibly influenced by the high number of participating cardinals, including many newcomers.

The cardinals gathered first in the Cappella Paolina to pray before proceeding to the Sistine Chapel for the voting process.

Voting Procedure

During the voting, cardinals submit their choice on a ballot paper and present it to others before placing it in a special container. The ballots are then counted and displayed with black or white smoke signaling the outcome.

Expectations suggest that multiple rounds of voting may be required, with a maximum of four rounds per day.
