The secretive election to choose a new pope began on May 7. A group of 133 cardinals - the so-called "Princes of the Church" - have gathered inside the Sistine Chapel at the heart of the Vatican to pick a successor to Pope Francis, who died last month of a stroke and heart failure at the age of 88. There could be as many as four votes today with two ballots held in the morning and two in the afternoon until a candidate receives a two-thirds majority.

Once the two-thirds majority has been achieved, the most senior cardinal will ask the chosen cardinal if he is prepared to become pope. If the answer in Latin is "Accepto" (I Accept), he is taken into a side room known as the Stanza delle Lacrime, or Room of Tears, so named because many have wept at the enormity of the task they face. There, he is given help to take off his scarlet cassock and change into the white vestments of the papacy.
