the exact same setting is on all the three nodes except the role and the names.
Any help on why the second node was not elected as master?

In order to elect a master node a strict majority of master eligible nodes need to be available. In order to allow for one master eligible node to be offline you need a minimum of 3 master eligible nodes in the cluster as the strict majority of 2 is 2.

so you mean all the nodes will have to be node.roles: master, data ?
or the third node has to be master-eligible?

I would recommend making all nodes master and data.
