The papal conclave on Thursday started the second day of voting to elect a brand new pope.
The day began with 133 elector cardinals attending a mass within the Pauline Chapel round 8 a.m. native time (0600 GMT).
The cardinals then proceeded to the Sistine Chapel, the place they resumed the voting.
Unlike yesterday, which included just one poll, the second day permits for as much as 4 voting rounds, two within the morning and two within the afternoon.
According to the Italian state-run ANSA news company, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who chairs the conclave as he did in 2013 that elected Pope Francis, stated he hopes the brand new pope shall be elected immediately, resulting in white smoke from the Sistine Chapel.
