  Papal conclave, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proceedings on April 18 consisted of a morning Mass "for the Election of the Roman Pontiff" ( Latin : " Pro Eligendo Romano Pontifice "), followed by the assembling of the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican City 's Apostolic Palace in the afternoon for one round of balloting.
This was the first Papal election governed under canon law reforms made by John Paul II in his Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis, promulgated on February 22, 1996.
Although there were 183 cardinals in all, cardinals over the age of 80 at the time the papacy fell vacant were ineligible to vote in the conclave according to rules enacted by Pope Paul VI in 1971 and modified slightly in 1996 by John Paul II.

 Talk:Papal election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The right of active election by any other ecclesiastical dignitary or the intervention of any lay power of whatsoever grade or order is absolutely excluded.
The occasion of all cardinals being over 80 and a papal election occurring is extremely unlikely - and under normal circumstances if the situation could be foreseen something could be developed for the occasion.
The approval voting page says that it is the system used for papal elections, but the wording on this page doesn't quite match it (and there isn't a link from here to there).

 ipedia.com: Papal election Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Papal elections are the method by which the Roman Catholic Church fills the office of Bishop of Rome, whose incumbent is informally (but usually) referred to as the Pope.
The last election by compromise was that of John XXII ( 1316), and the last election by acclamation was that of Gregory XV ( 1621).
Since the Western Schism, however, elections have always been held in Rome (except in 1800, when Neapolitan troops occupying Rome forced the election to be held in Venice), and normally in Vatican City (which has, since the Lateran treaties of 1929, been recognised as an independent state).

 Papal election - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A papal election is the method by which the Roman Catholic Church fills the office of Bishop of Rome, whose incumbent is known as the Pope, the head of the Church.
Later, however, this method was replaced in Rome and elsewhere with that of election by the clergy and laity of the community and the bishops of neighbouring dioceses.
Popes have often written "election constitutions" fine-tuning the rules for the election of their successors: Pope Pius XII 's Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis of 1945 governed the conclave of 1958, Pope John XXIII 's Summi Pontificis Electio of 1962 that of 1963, and Pope Paul VI 's Romano Pontifici Eligendo of 1975 those of 1978.

 Papal Transition: On papal conclave & election of the next pope by Thomas J. Reese, S.J.
The election takes place in the Sistine Chapel, with the cardinals living in the five-story Domus Sanctae Marthae, a Vatican residence with 105 two-room suites and 26 single rooms built in 1996, which is vacated by its usual residents during a conclave.
A number of elections in the 19th century were held in the Quirinal Palace, which was one of the pope's palaces until the fall of the Papal States in 1870.
In the 13th century the papacy was vacant for a year-and-a-half before the election of Innocent IV and for three-and-a-half years before the installation of Gregory X. In the first case the election was finally forced by the senate and people of Rome, who locked up the cardinals until a pope was chosen in 1243.

The election is by secret ballot; Pius XII fixed the electoral majority at two thirds plus one vote.
Participation in the election was limited (1059) to the cardinals by Nicholas II; the conclave was set up (1274) in its modern form by Gregory X. Decrees by Pius XII in 1945, John XXIII in 1962, Paul VI in 1975, and John Paul II in 1996 now fix the regulations for papal elections.

papal election, election of the pope by the college of cardinals meeting in secret conclave in the Sistine Chapel not less than 15 nor more than 18 days after the death of the previous pontiff.
In the vacancy of the Holy See the entire college of cardinals holds the papal jurisdiction, but its powers are extremely limited.
The popes were at first elected like other bishops, by the clergy and laity of the diocese; serious political interference was discouraged in 769 by the exclusion of the laity from papal election.

Yes, Cardinal Wojtyla's election as John Paul II in the second conclave of 1978 is a "textbook" case.
In fact, the method of election known as compromise or committee, in which after a period of deadlock a delegated committee brings back the name of a recommended candidate (used only very few times in the past, was abolished in Pope JP II's revised rules.
The election of the Bishop of Rome is the most durable electoral process in history, dating (as I posit) from the Acts of the Apostles where we see elections of deacons and of a successor to the fallen apostle, Judas.

While the church regarded the loss of the Papal States as a disaster, the defeat actually had liberated the popes to become strictly moral and spiritual leaders again.

I found this to be quite an interesting read, since virtually all the information I have about electing a new Pope came from reading Angels and Demons.
I think that "sorely lacking in Papal knowledge" is probably a pretty good description :-) I read both a year or so ago, so its quite possible I meant Angels and Demons.

 Schneier on Security: Hacking the Papal Election   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The rules for papal elections are steeped in tradition, and were last codified on 22 Feb 1996: "Universi Dominici Gregis on the Vacancy of the Apostolic See and the Election of the Roman Pontiff." The document is well-thought-out, and filled with details.
Then nine election officials are randomly selected: three "Scrutineers" who count the votes, three "Revisers," who verify the results of the Scrutineers, and three "Infirmarii" who collect the votes from those too sick to be in the room.
Posted by: Andy at April 14, 2005 12:03 PM I do not want to put words into Bruce's mouth, but my reading of this post in light of numerous earlier postings in this blog, is that it is easier to hack the US presidential election than the papal election.

From a papal perspective, the biggest worry is that someone will clone the Pope without his consent, kill or kidnap the real Pope, and substitute the clone for the real thing as part of a plot to take over the world.
The unfortunate upshot of this is that the heaviest period of papal electioneering is the brief time (9 to 16 days) between the Pope's funeral and the sequestering of the cardinals, overlapping the official mourning period in which we ideally should be refraining from political activities.
This was a historic election, in that a president survived a weak economy and unpopular war on the sole strength of his support from single-issue religious voters, so I thought it was worth a comment.
