Leader and Follower configuration in Zookeeper

I am wondering where in Zookeeper do I have to configure my follower and my leader? When I have this in my config file:

server.1=zoo1:2888:3888 server.2=zoo2:2888:3888 server.3=zoo3:2888:3888

Which one is the leader which are the followers? Or is this part of the leader election?

Any server in a zookeeper can become the leader at any time. If the current leader goes down, or a majority of servers can't connect to it, a new leader will be elected.

The only exception is observers.
