Record time "in voting"

What's the longest you have seen a nomination in voting?
I have one that will be 5 months old in a couple of weeks. Still "in voting" and around 20 or so regular wayfarer users on my WhatsApp group who live in the area have not seen it yet to vote for it.
Comments
In other discussions I saw people commenting that the priority system for assessing location has few requests already approved.
Currently my oldest is 7 months old. Previously, the oldest was just shy of a year.
I have seen others on these forums with nominations that have been in voting since 2014 and/or 2017.
I hate to say this, but I think your Scales are going to come back as "not accepted" when it finally enters voting.
The more stops around the nom the long it takes.
Our town had 5 stops and 2 gyms. At first when we started nominating it took about three days from the time they went into voting until they were approved. Since the number has gone up it's taking at 14 days now.
No. Only nominations block each other. If a nomination is "in voting", than other nominations in surrounding 8 level 17 cells are inhibited to switch from "in queue" to "in voting" (exception: upgraded stuff).
The block by amount of stops has influence on S2 level 9, and 6. That's way to large for your statement. You can be in a town without wayspots - if there is a large city in the region, you can nethertheless be f***ed up by the algorithm.
My first ever nomination is over 1 year. All the ones I submit in my neighborhood don't get any movement without upgrades too, I'm finally upgrading one of my nominations from April.
I want to see how long Stargazer takes though.
Funny cause myself along with my wife and a friend have added 45 pokestops to this town is the past 6 weeks......
Now that we have more stops the time taken to get approved is like 14 days.
Also I have 6 in voting and my wife has 5 so I'm not sure what your taking about blocking. I have never had a problem with it.
The waiting times depend on the location, and differs on different grid levels. The smallest, that has an impact is level 9; that is ~20km length... so when ou submit evrything in the same region, you won't see any changes as long as Niantic doesnt change things or there is a activity wave in wayfarer like during the 1st lockdown time or the release of reviewing for PoGo ....

I'll have to read up on that. 20km from this town is nothing but smaller towns and wheat fields lol.
I have noticed when I'm voting it's for waypoints in the other small towns. I just figured there was just enough of us voting.
The biggest cities near us are 40 miles away from us.
I can't disclose either the screenshots or the portal/agent because it's not my submission and I respect others' privacy so you can choose to take my word for it or not. I saw someone share a screenshot of a "Ingress portal submitted" email from 2015 and a screenshot of a "review complete" email from this month. It's unclear to me how long it was in voting but I suspect it would have been for a while.
Apparently it also counted +1 for the Seer medal.
