On Day 2, the cardinals will begin their day with a mass in the Pauline Chapel and then retreat to the Sistine Chapel for voting. They will participate in four rounds of voting, with two burnings of the ballots planned, one in the morning and one in the evening.

In a process that could've taken weeks, months or even years, and has in the past, the new pope was chosen in the third round over two days. The conclave began on Wednesday, and white smoke appeared on Thursday, meaning a new pope is ready to be announced.
