The Patriarch of Constantinople is chosen through a process that usually involves the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. After the death or resignation of a patriarch, the synod convenes to elect a successor, typically from among the senior bishops or metropolitans. The election process often includes nominations, discussions, and a vote by the synod members, ensuring that the chosen candidate has the necessary theological and administrative qualifications. Once elected, the new patriarch is confirmed by the synod and formally installed in a ceremonial manner.
