Hi Suma,

Please find the below sample code snippet which might help you accelerate further with above requirement.

Visual Force Page: 
<apex:form >
                   <apex:commandButton styleclass="btn-lg btn-data" value="Vote Up" action="{!setValue1}"/>
                   <apex:commandButton styleclass="btn-lg btn-data" value="Vote Down" action="{!setValue2}"/>
                   </apex:form>
Apex Controller: 
public class detailExt{
public myControllerExtension(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
         public Vote setVote {get; set;}

public void setValue1() {
    setVote.Type = 'Up';
    setVote.ParentId = Idea.Id;
}
public void setValue1() {
    setVote.Type = 'Down';
    setVote.ParentId = Idea.Id;
Insert setVote;
}
}
}
Note: You should use Id of the Idea record, for which user wants to vote. Not directly Idea.Id.

Hope this helps.

Please mark this as solved if my reply was helpful so that others can benefit who are encountering a similar issue.

Thanks,
Nagendra.
