H. Paus Johannes Paulus II - 22 februari 1996
There then follows the third and last phase, also known as the post-scrutiny, which comprises:
De stemopnemers tellen alle stemmen die ieder heeft gekregen, en als niemand minstens tweederde van de stemmen in die stemming heeft bereikt, dan is de paus niet gekozen; als daarentegen blijkt dat één minstens tweederde heeft gekregen, dan heeft men een canoniek geldige verkiezing van een paus
In either case, that is, whether the election has occurred or not, the Revisers must proceed to check both the ballots and the notes made by the Scrutineers, in order to make sure that these latter have performed their task exactly and faithfully.
Immediately after the checking has taken place, and before the Cardinal electors leave the Sistine Chapel, all the ballots are to be burnt by the Scrutineers, with the assistance of the Secretary of the Conclave and the Masters of Ceremonies who in the meantime have been summoned by the junior Cardinal Deacon. If however a second vote is to take place immediately, the ballots from the first vote will be burned only at the end, together with those from the second vote.
