Player heir and elective inheritance

[Technotopia]

Right now player can vote for other candidates, kids, nephews and make them inherit most of the titles.
However, player heir is not affected by election. After death of current character you continue as your player heir.
This does make little sense to me.
If player is allowed to vote for a character, this character should become player heir.

If it’s for their top title, this should already be happening. If not, then I’m not sure it should. I suspect there would be more complaints about a system where e.g. a player’s realm has one elective duchy and the player always becomes its duke, losing their empire in the process. And if the player can vote for a cousin for that duchy and then that cousin inherits their non-elective empire, that doesn’t seem right either.
