The next pope elected will need 89 votes to achieve majority

As the second day of voting is set to begin, the next person elected pope will need at least 89 votes in order to achieve the majority from the College of Cardinals, writes ABCNEWS.

With no majority being achieved last night on the very first vote, Thursday presents up to four voting opportunities - two in the morning and two in the evening - bringing with it a possibility that the cardinals might coalesce around one of the candidates.
