What is the rate of re elections? Also whats the best way to become elected? Do you need 100+ relation or 200 with the electorates? Im doing the Burg/Pal route for Germany. I went to 1495 and missed out on the election earlier, I have the 3 countries needed for vassalization.

Also is the election random based on a % Chance for each country to win?

Each time current Emperor dies. The country with correct State Religion or location, a monarch able to be elected and with the best relations with the Electors including specific bonuses always wins. There is a little random added to the relations for the determination of the final result.

Your best chance is to have relation at +200 with each Elector but this could be not sufficient because of the possible bonuses of other countries (Austria in particular) and the little random.

Ah so its semi impossible for me since im at horrid relations with everyone by 1477 and that is my earliest save :S

You just need a majority right. I might be able to pull that off if i re vassalize some of the countries I annexed to get instant 200 relations, that and up my mainz saxony relations.

Maybe the random part could be removed? or is it negligible?

If we look at what happened historically there was not much "randomness" involved.

hre = {
_HRE_ELECT_ELECTOR_BONUS_ = 100 #Positive
_HRE_ELECT_SPECIAL_BONUS_ = 25 #Positive
_HRE_ELECT_RANDOM_BONUS_ = 10 #Positive

So if Austria is emperor before 1493 they will have a 100 relation bonus with all electorals?
If so, do they go past 200?

No, Austria gets the special bonus. The elector bonus is what you get if you're voting for yourself. And yes, the score can exceed 200 for each elector.
