# 5.6 Election When an issue is detected with the Checker, a new generator is elected. The node with the highest voting power is elected as the new generator. The new sequence generated by Checker require the confirmation from verification nodes that hold the super majority (referred to as the majority) of staked shares. If a new Checker encounters issues before being confirmed by the super majority, another Checker is selected in the order of staked share weights among the verification nodes. Similarly, this new Checker also requires the confirmation from verification nodes that hold the super majority of staked shares when generating a new sequence. Once a Checker has been created, a secondary node can be selected to take over the responsibilities. If a secondary node exists, it will be considered as the next Checker in case of Checker failure. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
