It’s the second day of the conclave. Here’s how it will unfold
After spending the night and having breakfast at their Santa Marta residence, the cardinals will reconvene in the Sistine Chapel for the second round of voting.

Whereas yesterday’s procession to the Sistine Chapel was broadcast to the world, we won’t see any of the cardinals’ movements today. They have been sequestered — and our only glimpse into their thinking will be the smoke that billows from the chapel’s chimney.

As many as four votes can be held today — two in the morning, and two in the afternoon.

But we won’t see smoke more than twice today. We’ll either see white smoke or no smoke during this morning’s first vote, and then either white smoke or black smoke for the second round. The same is true in the afternoon’s two sessions.

If we get a pope in the first round of voting this morning, we should see smoke at around 10:30 a.m. local time (4:30 a.m. ET). If not, the first time we’ll see smoke is at around midday (6 a.m. ET).

If we get to the afternoon, we will either see smoke at around 5:30 p.m. local (11:30 a.m. ET) or 7 p.m. (1 p.m. ET).
