Once your account is established, casting a vote is simple. First, be sure that you've logged in to JIRA.* Then find a user story you want to vote on and review it in detail. Some user stories may only have a caption / title, while others may include extensive description, comments from developers and users, and attached files, such as specification documents or email. If you have a question about or a comment to a user story, please add it to the user story using the option for adding comments.

While you are voting for issues, you may also indicate that you want to watch the progress of any user story simply by clicking on the “Start watching this issue” option that occurs directly underneath the voting option. As with the voting option, you can stop watching a user story by clicking on the “Stop watching this issue” option (which replaces the option “Start watching this issue”).
* For ease of navigation, be sure Detail View is enabled on the search results screen.
