@geeked_out_4_movies Thanks. This is indeed a bug which seems to only affect a small subset of Parents Guides for episodes. We have flagged this to the team for investigation.
Your initial report implied that all voting was broken on all Parents Guides. Please try and be precise as possible when reporting issues and always include example URLs and screenshots as it will enable us to fix the problems more quickly. Thanks.
@geeked_out_4_movies There is a workaround while we look at the issue. The voting across those categories currently only appears when there is at least one specific contributed item available in the guide. Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/parental-guide/GF4KYKYJA4PKQB32 to add an item. Once the item is live, voting across all of the categories becomes active automatically.
Also note that you can only vote in the Parents Guide after the title has been released. Are you only looking at titles which have not been released yet?
Why would a Parents Guide page for a movie not be one where you can add anything? All the page has are the ratings for the movie in various countries, but none of the usual categories about violence, profanity, drugs, etc. Thus, there's no viewer voting or comments allowed to guide those concerned about children viewing the film.

Title : Parents Guide Page Has No Voting Categories . . . .
@bluedusk Thanks for the bug report and please see above for a temporary solution while we work on the issue:
There is a workaround while we look at the issue. The voting across those categories currently only appears when there is at least one specific contributed item available in the guide. Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/parental-guide/GF4KYKYJA4PKQB32 to add an item. Once the item is live, voting across all of the categories becomes active automatically.
TO IMDb: There seems to be more problems with the Parental Guide other than the option to vote is missing if there is not at least one description added.
I added 9 items, ALL of them declined with reason:
"ReasonUnable to verify. Your contribution has been declined.We have been unable to verify your contribution."
I find it hard to believe I have written something wrong in all 9 of them?

#260404-160721-448621
#260404-130746-545521
Also I read on the IMDb Reddit forum 14 days ago about another user complaining about the same, so I apparently are not the only one experiencing this.
So I am now unsure if IMDb are aware of the extent of the fault on "Parental Guide", or if they still think it only applies to
"Thanks. This is indeed a bug which seems to only affect a small subset of Parents Guides for episodes."
Are IMDb aware that the option to VOTE is missing on ALL titles, MOVIES and EPIOSODES that has not at least one manual description added? And that also OLD/Existing VOTES are hidden if there is not at least one manual entered description?
It's been 5 months now, and I am getting tired of always having to write manual explanations, wait until they are approved and live, before I can go on IMDb again to cast votes.
Which is what I am trying to do in mentioned contribution, I have to add some profanity or other things, to be able to vote on the rest of the categories.

This appears to be a local problem only affecting you so please see: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/common-issues/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF
If this does not fix the problem, please provide links to at least 2 or 3 pages with the problem and at least one screen shot so we can investigate.

Are IMDb awaire of that this fault also hides existing voting, when there is no description added?
I added a description in one of the categories, and then suddenly previous votes showed up after,
so the fault is not only on titles that have no votes and no descritpions.

Question 2:
I tried to ask a question here 1 month ago that was not answered:
