+Voting
+######
+
+To enable the Voting extension, you must remove the :file:`disabled`
+file from the directory :file:`extensions/Voting/`, and run
+:file:`checksetup.pl`.
+
+Voting allows users to be given a pot of votes which they can allocate
+to bugs, to indicate that they'd like them fixed.
+This allows developers to gauge
+user need for a particular enhancement or bugfix. By allowing bugs with
+a certain number of votes to automatically move from "UNCONFIRMED" to
+"CONFIRMED", users of the bug system can help high-priority bugs garner
+attention so they don't sit for a long time awaiting triage.
+
+To modify Voting settings, navigate to the "Edit product" screen for the
+Product you wish to modify. The following settings are available:
+
+*Maximum votes per person:*
+    Setting this field to "0" disables voting.
+
+*Maximum votes a person can put on a single bug:*
+    It should probably be some number lower than the
+    "Maximum votes per person". Don't set this field to "0" if
+    "Maximum votes per person" is non-zero; that doesn't make
+    any sense.
+
+*Number of votes a bug in this product needs to automatically get out of the UNCONFIRMED state:*
+    Setting this field to "0" disables the automatic move of
+    bugs from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED.
+
+Once you have adjusted the values to your preference, click "Update".
