One line summary of your issue
[3.0] Cannot nominate daughter as heir while Agnatic-Cognatic Elective

Game Version
3.0

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
My daughter does not appear in the list of possible election candidates. Very annoying, as she's also the heir of my wife, who is a petty queen.

Also interesting (and possibly related) is that I can elect my wife, who 1. is not of my dynasty 2. has no claim on my duchy 3. holds no land in my duchy, de jure or actual.

EDIT: Got a second child (a son), can't elect him either.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

Just to add on to this, I played again and the wife whom was set up to be elected as a work around to the bug died. As soon as she did the sons were able to be elected. They were the heirs to the king before agnatic-cognatic gavelkind succession was in place (wessex, 850ish AD)
 
Having this issue too, copying this from another thread:

All the elective successions disqualify someone as a candidate if they have a living parent who is a valid candidate. You can't nominate your brother's son if your brother is alive and eligible, for example. There used to be an exception for your own kids, but in the 3.0 rework, this apparently got dropped (probably an oversight), so if your spouse is a valid candidate (which happens pretty often), their children (including your children with them) are ineligible as long as they (your spouse) live.

Really annoying to have all my children ineligible because my wife is a member of my dynasty. Only workaround now is to divorce the wife. Hope this gets looked at ASAP.
