The conclave to elect a new pope after Pope Francis begins on May 7. Cardianls will be sequestered in the Sistine Chapel without outside contact. The process starts with morning Mass and includes an oath, followed by voting. If cardinals do not reach a two-thirds majority on the first vote, they will continue voting in the coming days. The decision is announced via smoke signals from the Sistine Chapel chimney, with black indicating no winner and white confirming the election of a new pope.
