Best Answer

After a ballot elects a pope and the results certified, the ballots are burned with chemicals that produce white smoke which can been seen issuing from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. Usually within an hour or so, the senior cardinal deacon will appear on the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and and announce in Latin, "Habemos Papam" (We have a pope). He will then announce the name of the cardinal elected and the name he chooses to be known by.
