The name of the group of men who elect a Pope is the College of Cardinals. They are a group of high-ranking officials within the Catholic Church who are appointed by the Pope and are responsible for electing his successor upon his death or resignation. The College of Cardinals is made up of members from all over the world and is led by a Dean who supervises the election process. The voting process is conducted in strict secrecy and only ends when a candidate receives a two-thirds majority of the votes.
