After the a vote is taken the ballots are burned in a stove in the Sistine Chapel and chemicals mixed with them. If the smoke is black, no pope has been elected. If the smoke is white, a new pope has been chosen.

What is the papal election?

A papal election is called a conclave. All eligible members of the College of Cardinals gather in a secret meeting in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope when the previous pope has either died or reigned. Once the conclave begins, the participants are not allowed to leave and have no communication to the outside world until a pope is elected. Voting is done on paper ballots which, once recorded, are burned in a small stove in the chapel. Chemicals are added to the burning paper to either issue black smoke or white smoke. White smoke coming from the chimney is a sign to the outside world that a new pope has been elected.

How do you say your in sign language?

You would sign your name using the alphabet and then if you have been given some sign name by your friends or parents, you would then sign that to show. Usually your sign name will start with the first letter of your real name and will incorporate some other sign that is associated with your personality. For example if you were a real hyper child, your friends may have given you a nickname of using your first initial and signing the word "jumping".
