### Impact of Validator Quality on Nomination

The Stellar Consensus Protocol uses validator quality levels in determining which validator should nominate the next transaction set for inclusion in a ledger. This process of choosing the validator that will nominate the next transaction set is called _leader election_. To start, the leader election algorithm assigns organizations and validators weights as follows:

This process of choosing the validator that will nominate the next transaction set is called _leader election_. To start, the leader election algorithm assigns organizations and validators weights as follows:

- Each `HIGH` quality organization has a weight of `1`.
- Each `MEDIUM` quality organization has a weight of `1/(10*n)` where `n` is the number of `HIGH` quality organizations.

The leader election algorithm then assigns each validator a probability of winning leader election of the validator's weight divided by the total weight of all validators. Altogether, these win probabilities ensure that Stellar Core's leader election algorithm has the following properties:

1. Higher quality organizations have a greater chance of winning leader election than lower quality organizations.
1. Higher-quality organizations have a greater chance of winning leader election than lower-quality organizations.
2. Organizations of equal quality have an equal chance of winning leader election.
