Conclave takes place immediately after the Popes death, in regular conditions the college of cardinals will enter the Sistine chapel after the official funeral. This is up to 12 hours after the death-as the preferiti attend speak prayers on his behalf. Once locked in the chapel the college of Cardinals must elect a member of the College to take the ring of the fisher along with the Papel office. So the official answer is the College of Cardinals elect the next pope.

How many conclaves in this century?
As of the 5th of March 2015, there have been two conclaves this century. The first was in 2005, which elected Pope Benedict XVI. The second was in 2013, which elected Pope Francis I.
Which pope refused his election?
Papal conclaves are secret so we will never know absolutely. However, Camillo Cardinal Laurenti participated in the 1922 papal conclave and it has been purported that he was elected as Pope, but according to The Compact History Of The Popes, "he refused to accept the honor". The voting then continued and Pope Pius XI was elected.
How long does it take to choose the new pope?
That depends on how fast the cardinals can come to a consensus. Over the centuries conclaves have been as short as 10 hours and as long as nearly 3 years.
Were two pope's elected in 1962?
There was no papal election in 1962. You may be referring to the election in 1958. There is a conspiracy theory that states that in the conclave to replace Pope Pius XII Giuseppe Cardinal Siri of Genoa was actually elected as pope. However, enemies of the Church from Communist countries threatened mass destruction and persecution of the Church should Siri accept the position as Pope Gregory XVII. Even though he had supposedly already accepted the position as pope, the College of Cardinals is reported to have forced his resignation illegally and elected Pope John XXIII who they thought would be more acceptable to the communists. Since the proceedings of conclaves are secret we will probably never know if this really transpired. However, there are a number of people who state that all popes elected since the death of Pius XII are not legitimate popes because of the irregularities that supposedly happened in 1958.
Have cardinals always been elected pope?
In the year 1059 the College of Cardinals was designated the sole body of electors.A history of political interference in these elections and consequently long vacancies between popes, and most immediately the interregnum of 1268-1271, prompted the Second Council of Lyons to decree in 1274 that the electors should be locked in seclusion cum clave (Latin for "with a key"), and not permitted to leave until a new Bishop of Rome had been elected.
