Moving Beyond Jira’s Native Upvote Feature Voting feature helps you quickly gather feedback and prioritize work. Jira’s built-in voting lets internal users signal which work items (issues) are important by selecting the Vote button on a Jira work item. The total number of upvotes can then be seen by anyone with access to that work item. It’s simple, but limited. There’s no downvote option, and external users can’t participate.
