The One Vote Comment Workflow
>When the One Vote Comment workflow is attached to a project, a vote is automatically added to an issue when you author a comment that contains +1.
Your profile includes an option to add the Star tag to issues automatically when you vote for an issue. This lets you receive automatic updates following the same rules that apply to your subscription for the Star tag.
If you have the View Voters permission in a project, you can view the list of users who have voted for an issue. The Voters list is only visible in single issue view. Click the List of voters counter next to the Vote icon.
