The proceedings are secret and held in the Sistine Chapel about two weeks after the death of the prior pope. Only cardinals who are 80 years or younger can vote. It takes a 2/3 majority to elect a pope. The ballots are then burned and if a pope was not elected, they are mixed with damp straw to produce a black colored smoke as a signal to those waiting outside that a vote was not successful. If the smoke is white it indicates a new pope has been elected.
