How is a Master host elected in vSphere HA environment?

When vSphere HA is enabled for a cluster, all active hosts (those not in standby or maintenance mode, or not disconnected) participate in an election to choose the cluster’s master host. The host that mounts the greatest number of datastores has an advantage in the election.
Only one master host typically exists per cluster and all other hosts are slave hosts.
If the master host fails, is shut down or put in standby mode, or is removed from the cluster a new election is held.
