As we pray for them, we look forward to the times of their scheduled votes. A two-thirds majority is required for a pope to be elected. If a vote does not produce this, black smoke will billow from the Sistine Chapel&#8217;s chimney, visible to all in St. Peter&#8217;s Square. If the vote produces a new pope, white smoke will be seen instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So when can we expect the votes and the smoke signals?<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals will vote once today, May 7th, at the beginning of the conclave, and we can expect to know the results through the smoke after\u00a0<strong>1pm Eastern time<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Starting on May 8th, the cardinals vote twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. Every two rounds, there is smoke to share the results (around\u00a0<strong>6:00 am and 1:00 pm Eastern time<\/strong>), unless the pope is elected in one of the first votes in the morning or afternoon, in which case there will be white smoke at around\u00a0<strong>4:30 am or 11:30 am Eastern time<\/strong>. If after 3 full days of voting, noone is elected, the cardinals will take a one-day break for prayer and reflection and then resume their schedule the next day.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-scaled.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-171202 size-full lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-171202 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-960x1200.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Conclave-Smoke-Condensed-Post-1638x2048.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Papal Conclave has begun, with 133 Cardinal Electors sequestered in the Sistine Chapel.
