The "Votes" field in Jira Product Discovery (JPD) was optimized for point-in-time voting: you share a view to a list of people, you give them a budget, and they allocate this budget among a list of ideas. It's meant to be used as a way to start the right conversations (which isn't so much the number of votes but why people think X vs Y is important). It's a great tool to get a pulse when starting a new quarter for example, to know where everyone (sales, support, leadership) stands - before starting the more in-depth conversations.
There is a lot of feedback on this feature, and in my opinion the feature is also not great because on how it is designed to work like "point-in-time" voting only. Let's hope that they improve voting quickly and open it up for more use cases in JPD.
