I Cannot nominate myself or one of my heirs into the HRE

[chensonnies]

is there a reason why i cannot.

The electors for the HRE are the ones that they were historically, like the Duke of Saxony for example I believe is an elector.

What do you mean exactly? That you are not an elector while you should be? Or that you are an elector but can't vote for yourself or your kids? Or that you can't start a faction (myself for HRE)?

This is what the wiki says about the HRE succession type:

"The emperor, emperor's legitimate children and siblings, along with the seven Prince-electors and any major de jure vassal of the Empire of the same religion can all be nominated as successors.

The emperor and the seven Prince-electors who are of the same religion are valid electors.

Princely elective is only available to the Holy Roman Empire. The empire can only switch to other succession types if the emperor imposes absolute rule and has maximum centralization, or if switching to Eldership."

The electors are specific people that hold specific titles. So grab one of those.
