 In the first scrutiny, though, as the votes were being read out, Cardinal Pietro Barbo of Venice reached twelve votes, at which point all the uncounted votes were cancelled by the cardinals who had cast them and they voted by voice for Barbo as well, making him Pope.Cardinal Bessarion, the "prior Episcoporum", then polled each cardinal individually and each agreed to the election of Barbo.He chose the name Paul II.
