- The electors include 17 from Italy, 10 from the United States, 7 from Brazil, and 52 from Europe, while others come from Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
- Cardinal Luis José Rueda Aparicio urged focusing on all continents, stating “The Holy Spirit looks at them all,” while others say they choose "whoever is the best person."
