In distributed system, electing a leader for the various coordination activities is an important issue.This paper present different election algorithm with different approach.The coordinating activities can be a directory search, balancing the load of the distributed system etc.The major coordinating activity is to manage the use of a shared resource in an optimal manner.The goal of a leader election in distributed system of autonomous processes is to select one of the currently alive processes as a leader so as to manage the coordination activities of the other processes in the system.This paper proposes a comparative analysis of the various election algorithms in distributed system.
