My votes are all used up. They should retract votes automatically when the bugs
gets completed. Or at a minimum, there should be an easy way to do this from my
votes page.

Reproducible: Always

This isn't quite a dupe, but it would go on my bad ideas list for the same
reasons - see bug 27553 comment 13.  And because this would be dataloss on the
side of the voter:

- Many of us would probably like to be able to see which bugs they voted for
have recently been fixed.
- Resolving a bug would reset its vote count to zero.  And so if it's reopened,
voting would have to start again from scratch.

Is it that difficult to go down your votes list clearing all the votes on bug
numbers that are crossed out, if that's what you want?

Even if we do add a 'clean up votes' command or something, it ought to give the
user the choice of what to clear out - which statuses (RESOLVED, VERIFIED or
CLOSED) and which resolutions (FIXED, DUPLICATE, WONTFIX, etc.).

Thinking about it now, if this is a dupe of anything, it's bug 265862, rather than bug 27533.
