Abstract
I show that $W$-like entangled quantum states are not a necessary quantum resource for totally correct anonymous leader election protocols. This is proven by defining a symmetric quantum state that is $n$-partite SLOCC inequivalent to the $W$ state, and then constructing a totally correct anonymous leader election protocol using this state. This result, which contradicts the previous necessity result of D'Hondt and Panangaden, furthers our understanding of how non-local quantum states can be used as a resource for distributed computation.
