1. The `etcdctl` command is used to conduct leader elections in an etcd cluster. It makes sure that only one client become leader at a time.
2. Ensure the `ENDPOINTS` variable is set with the addresses of each etcd cluster members.
3. Set a unique name for the election for different clients ('<i>one</i>' in the given code below).
4. Lastly, set different leaders name for each clients (<i>p1</i> and <i>p2</i>).


Command format :
`etcdctl --endpoints=$ENDPOINTS elect <election-name> <leader-name>`



```shell
etcdctl --endpoints=$ENDPOINTS elect one p1

# another client with the same name blocks
# another client with the same election name block
etcdctl --endpoints=$ENDPOINTS elect one p2
```
