Question about elective

[Rioghal]

So I have a question about elective succession in the mod. I remember it used to work much the same as it does in vanilla with lords of one lower level being able to vote on elections above them up until the emperor level where dukes and kings could all vote on the imperial succession. Now however, I notice that my councilors (entirely courtiers and baron level) are all voting in my king level succession. I have no ducal vassals so in vanilla I would be the only elector. It's not really a problem but I'm curious if this is the intended behavior.

It depends on the exact system, Noble Oligarchy being most fun in this.
Generally working as intended in your case, id say.

Thanks for the help! I’m using feudal elective here.

Wonder when they decided to update this. Time to dive through the change logs I guess.

Looks like the tooltip needs updating for the standard feudal elective, but this seems to be a deliberate change

OR = {
                higher_real_tier_than = BARON #All count tier and above
                AND = { #Barons in duke tier realms
                    tier = BARON
                    FROMFROM = { lower_real_tier_than = KING }
                }
                AND = { #Holder's council
                    FROMFROM = { holder_scope = { is_liege_of = PREVPREV } }
                    OR = {
                        is_councillor = yes
                        is_voter = yes
                    }
                }
                FROMFROM = { holder_scope = { is_close_relative = PREVPREV } } #Holder's relatives
                any_claim = { title = FROMFROM } #Claimants
            }

Would have been this version, elective wasn't moddable previously

Interesting! Thanks for the info. Looks like it might be pretty easy to revert to its original structure.
