Determining a Nominee for a Pope

Verification:
The votes are tabulated and verified by a group of three cardinals called the "reviewers."

Voting again:
If no candidate receives a two-thirds majority, more votes are taken.  After 33 or 34 ballots, only a simple majority is needed, a change made by John Paul II.

Offering the position:
A nominee can decide to accept or turn down the position of pope.
