Why do they burn the votes when electing a pope?

The proceedings of a conclave are secret, including the number of votes received by a candidate.Once a vote has been counted, the old ballots are burned so that they cannot get accidentally mixed in with new ballots from the next vote. And if the vote is the last one, which elects a Pope, then burning the ballots preserves the secrecy of the vote. If a Pope knew how the cardinals voted, that could result in some form of favoritism.
