However, this is not absolute. If several other people can't reach an agreement, the original account will be invalid because of the cancellation of the account. The public security organ may also designate one of them as the head of the household.

Generally speaking,

If it is a property right house, then the owner of the house (the party with the largest share) can give priority to becoming the head of the household.

If it is a public house, the lessee has priority to become the head of the household.

If it is difficult to determine, the person who has lived with the head of household for the longest time will be given priority to become the head of household.

People with empty accounts can't be heads of households.
