US EditionConclave smoke livestream May 7: Watch for results of papal election
- On Wednesday, 133 Catholic cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to begin voting for Pope Francis' successor.
- The cardinals entered seclusion to cast secret ballots requiring a two-thirds majority, with up to four ballots planned each day.
- After each vote, officials burned the ballots with added chemicals, producing black smoke to signal no decision yet, observed by onlookers at Vatican.
- The black smoke emerging around three hours after the first vote indicated no pope was elected, so the conclave is set to continue with more ballots.
- This process continues until a candidate gains the necessary votes, at which point white smoke will signal the election of the new pope.
