Why is my aunt my heir?

[Secret Master]

Normally, I understand why particular characters are heirs. The laws, while sometimes convoluted when confederate partition wants to create innumerable titles, are pretty straight forward. But this situation makes no sense to the point where I'm opening the debug window to find out what's wrong.

Now, my eldest daughter Hengbo should be my heir. Confederate partition with gender equality. You'll notice all of my kids except her have land. I'm not disinheriting anyone right now (no need) because I have handed out plenty of land. Now, several of kingdoms have elective law, but not all. Zhetsyu and Jiarong are not elective, so they are counting as part of confederate partition. I will rectify this when I get a bit more prestige.

I have nominated Hengbo as my candidate for all elective kingdoms. And she is the preferred candidate for two of them as you can see.

But my aunt is clearly my heir. She's not getting elected to one of the elective titles and breaking off part of my empire. She's just my heir.

Why?

I've included the save game in case anyone wants to take a look.

She's your primary heir, because she's inheriting the kingdom of Jiarong for some reason
So if you switch your primary title, that should rectify it?
I'm still unsure how your aunt is even inheriting anything. She's more distantly related to you than everyone in the screenshot! She must've been the electoral winner beforehand, and the game still hasn't updated. Have you tried waiting a month or two to see if anything changes?

She's been primary heir for twenty years.

I only started caring recently because I realized I might not outlive her. My ruler's health isn't the best anymore. Stupid cake winch.

Good catch. That seems to have fixed it! Of course, now that my primary title is different, she is nominating herself for Jiarong, and I can't get my vassals to change their minds.

I'm still not sure why that matters, though.

hier is the one who will inherent your primary title

And the primary title in this case is elective, and my aunt is voting for herself, swaying the vote to her. That makes more sense.

This is what happens when I have 7 kingdoms but only some are elective.
