Voting for a topic on behalf of a user

Know a user that supports an idea but has no time or doesn't feel like voting for it? Make their vote count and vote on their behalf. You can vote on behalf of users in tickets and all topics (questions, ideas, problems, praise), updates and knowledge base articles.

When you're voting for ideas via someone else, your previously set vote limits do not apply. Learn more about vote limits
