Benedict XVI's "motu proprio" explains that after the publication of the 1996 constitution, John Paul II received requests to return to the traditional norm, that is, that a two-thirds majority always be required.The new norm states that if the cardinal-electors are at an impasse after 33 or 34 ballots, runoff ballots between the two leading candidates will be held. A two-thirds majority is needed in that election.
