Yes it supports configuration option `quorum_size` which basically defines the minimum amount of nodes in the cluster needed for starting the election process. By default it’s 1 which means no checks. Please keep in mind that the configuration must be same across all nodes.

And thanks for pointing it out I have to update the readme file.  
The documentation can be found here [elector v0.3.3 — Documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/elector/)
