+## Leader Election Example  
+This example demonstrates how to use the leader election library.
+
+## Running
+Run the following command in multiple separate terminals preferably an odd number. 
+Each running process uses a unique identifier displayed when it starts to run.
+
+- When a program runs, if a lock object already exists with the specified name, 
+all candidates will start as followers. 
+- If a lock object does not exist with the specified name then whichever candidate 
+creates a lock object first will become the leader and the rest will be followers.
+- The user will be prompted about the status of the candidates and transitions. 
+
+### Command to run
+```python example.py```
+
+Now kill the existing leader. You will see from the terminal outputs that one of the
+ remaining running processes will be elected as the new leader.
