Jacques, Like the explanation in the link you included explains
JIRA allows you to *vote* for a particular issue -- "voicing" your preference for that issue to be resolved or completed voting in a JIRA issue doesn't allow you to vote 0 or -1 (or even fractions). It also explains: At any subsequent time when logged in, click this again to remove your vote. Meaning that you can retract your +1 vote. Wether or not you can vote -1 (as per ASF principles) is something that should be taken up with the party responsible for JIRA. Until that is resolved I advice not to use the JIRA voting mechanism for any other intention than expressed in its (ASF specific) documention.
