How does the conclave work and when will a new pope be chosen?

The cardinals will vote in Rome on Wednesday to elect a new pope at the Sistine Chapel, with 133 participating cardinals, many from Europe but also significant numbers from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The voting process involves each cardinal submitting their choice through a bronze urn, with results determined by scrutineers, infirmari, and revisers. If no candidate secures two-thirds support within three days, the cardinals will take a rest day. The new pope will then change into a white cassock at the College of Cardinals before being welcomed at St. Peter's Basilica.
