Pope Benedict XVI Emeritus did not vote for Pope Francis. Maybe he decided to step down because he did not want to end up still being Pope and suffering from physical/mental issues like what St. Pope John Paul II went through before he passed on.

By staying on JPII kept the Church safe from the likes of Francis. Benedict could have done the same.
