Cardinals return to vote in Sistine Chapel as election for new pope enters second day

The cardinals are back at the Sistine Chapel today to continue voting for a new pope, as the papal election enters its second day. The first round of voting took place on Wednesday, but it didn’t result in the selection of a new pope, as black smoke appeared from the chapel’s chimney. This indicates that no cardinal met the required votes to become the next pope.

On the second day of voting, the cardinals are set to cast their ballots up to four times during the morning and afternoon. They are hopeful that the election will reach a conclusion soon, and white smoke will rise, signaling the election of a new pope.
