Papal Conclave - Voting for a New Pope

This image depicts what happens when Cardinals vote for a new pope during a Papal Conclave.  Ballots are deposited into a chalice and counted.  If the ballots do not match up with the number of people present, they will be destroyed and everyone will vote again.
