As the HRE was disintegrated in 1806 and no more HRE Emperor after 1805 historically, can I write a event to shut down the HRE election?

Well, the Emperor back then declared the HRE abolished in August 1806

However it is still debatable if he actually had the *right* to do so. The Emperor of the HRE was no absolute monarch who would be allowed to do such things on his own and the HRE had organs that had to be heard in far less drastic matters - IMO the Emperor overstepped his authority to prevent Napoleon from taking over the HRE.
In game terms where an Emperor stays Emperor as long as he ruled (or until his state is annexed) he would stay Emperor until the end of the game in 1820 (or until Austria is annexed) so there would be no further HRE election that would have to be prevented.
You could only write events that
1) remove provinces from the HRE
"command = { type = hre which = x value = yes / no }
Adds or removes province x as a part of the Holy Roman Empire"
This will remove the automatic military access the Emperor has there when at war and
2) remove electors from the HRE
"command = { type = elector which = aaa value = x }
Changes the number of votes for country aaa, 0 removes it as an elector."
to prevent the Emperor from receiving the gold and manpower from the electors removed.
The AGCEEP mod has some events removing provinces from the HRE if you want a template.
However that would be a question for the modding or event/scripting subforum.
I wonder if there is something that could be done in making MUS the Empire. Some use of events giving it many electoral votes and an eternal monarch might do the trick.
You can either disable it completely in the files from the start of the game (e.g. as the Dawn of Kingdoms mod in it´s earliest scenario)
So, how to do this? I'm modifying a early age mod.
But how do you kill off the current Emperor? If at some point in the game, e.g. 1806 an event fires that abolishes the Empire then Francis II - or whoever else became Emperor - is still Emperor. I only see that possible by killing/sleeping the monarch and having a 2nd monarch with the same name take over.
But as anyone could be Emperor in a grand campaign starting 1419 that´s nearly impossible.
Unless you mean to have MUS take over the Empire after the current Emperor dies - which in the 1806 case means that Francis II still stays Emperor until the end of the game.
