How many votes are needed to elect a pope?
In 1945 Pope Pius XII moved that a two-thirds majority + one be required for the election of a pope within the first 33 ballots. At this time 118 cardinals are eligible to vote for a future pope as they are under 80 yrs of age. Therefore SEVENTY-NINE votes are needed during one of the first 33 ballots to elect the successor to Benedict XVI. Voting takes place for 3 days of 4 ballots each day and a day of reflection followed by another 7 ballots if no cardinal is chosen during the first 3 days. The day of prayer and reflection followed by 7 ballots can be repeated two more times. If after the third round of voting where no one has achieved the two-thirds majority + one, there will be a day of prayer & reflection. The next ballot will contain the two names who received the highest number of votes in the LAST ballot for a "runoff" election. These two people will not be allowed to vote in the runoff election. A two-thirds majority (SEVENTY-EIGHT votes) is needed in the runoff election to elect the successor to Benedict XVI. The actual number depends on the number of cardinals that participate in the enclave.
