Nomination straight to voting by Niantic
Has anyone else had a nomination go straight to voting? I nominated something at 11:48am today (UK) and was ready to copy and paste relevant website links into supporting information but as soon as it appeared in my list of contributions (11:52am) it was in Niantic voting. I'd filled the in app field box (256 characters I think) and normally there is time to complete on the web.

Yup! It's a pretty big issue for folks like you that hadn't completed their nomination and shows lack of earnest intent at prior commitments to fast tracking older nominations rather than new ones.

Take screenshots of the "in voting" mark on your nomination. If rejected, make a new post in here and document your evidence collected. There have been some recent examples (as recent as the last 12 hours) where Niantic moderators have overturned internal votes - without requiring an in-website appeal.

Thanks - I'll look forward to the rejection as the links were important as the 12 year old streetview that will drop automatically doesn't show the subject but shifting a few feet west is fine and the supporting information ended mid sentence

How long is the Niantic voting taking? Locally most nominations here pass within 3 days (I know I am spoiled) and there is a new mural I nominated and I am eager for it to get through and it seems to be sitting longer in Niantic voting than it would with community review. Anyone know why certain nominations are going to Niantic voting?
I had another two nominations go straight to Niantic voting. They are all local government sponsored street art and maybe this is what is triggering them going to Niantic. I don't mind this but I do mind that I had zero opportunity to complete the nomination properly. When there is a decision either way I will post here.
I had a previous nomination reviewed by Niantic (trail marker) - that took about 3 weeks to approve. I had two previous nominations before the Niantic Voting status that I think were reviewed by Niantic that took a day or two to get rejected.
Nominations here take 6-12 months. Slam dunks either way take at least 2 months
Just got my first regular niantic review yesterday, it went in voting after I slept so I would guess less than 12h. I got surprised because it wasn't an easy slam dunk nom and it was reject twice for bs reasons.
All three nominations approved last week so just over 2 months
