The election may be made in three modes - by ballot, by com promise, or by acclamation. The number of votes for the election must be two thirds of the electors assembled in con clave, in which two thirds is not to be included the vote of the elected cardinal.

No election is consummated if all the votes have not been published. Before the ballots are placed in the chalice, all the electors must swear, in succession, that they have named only him whom they believe to be the best among them.

The elector must write on the ticket his own name and that of the cardinal to whom he gives his vote. Their tickets must be folded and sealed, in such wise that the seal will show that there are not two tickets put in by the same elec tor. The ticket of the ballot corresponds with that of the accesso. In each ballot an elector can accede declare the acceptance of one proposed in the ballot immediately preceding the accesso) but once.
