I've had little trouble getting my designated heir nominated in the past but I just had a dynastic member inheriting the Ilkhanate and decided to nominate him as the successor for an eventual joining of the crowns. However, my dukes kept nominating other people despite having high relations with my character. Is there anyway to fix this?

I am not sure, but look at your heirs stats, is he same religion and culture? This really makes a big differance, your relations do not matter from what I can tell, it is all about the heirs relations. And ther is not much you can do to help there unless I am missing something.

I may be wrong but if your nominated heir is outside of realm, his chance of getting voted for by others are much slimmer. I think this even applies to situations where he remains your vassal but is outside of your de jure realm (I remember that, as HRE, I made my son and heir apparent Duke of Sicily and noone wanted to vote for him anymore, but they were quite happy to vote for him when he was just a courtier in my court).

Make less voters, condense your vassals, if a Duke will not toe the line, remove him and the duchy one less voter. You can also hand your heir some land, he will start to gain love from voters, just takes time. You could also try to put kinsmen as your leigemen, it might help for the + bonus for being blood. I find they are slime balls who want my land, but your milage may vary.
