No, absolutely not. A Pope is elected by the College of Cardinals - as a matter of fact, that is the only real difference between a Cardinal and a Bishop, a Cardinal is someone who votes in the papal election. We have only had two popes resign of their own free will in 2,000 years, the minute that they resign, the seat is vacant and the process of a Conclave begins.
