Following the death of Pope Francis, preparations are being made for the conclave to elect his successor, starting on May 7. Security measures are being enhanced in Vatican City, including anti-drone technology and electronic jammers, to ensure the integrity of the election process. The Swiss Guard and Gendarmerie are responsible for security, and past measures included a false floor and Faraday cage in the Sistine Chapel to prevent leaks. Participants must take oaths of secrecy to maintain confidentiality during the conclave.
