I chose the wrong reason for closing a question (I blame my fat fingers), so I decided it was only fair to retract my vote. Now I cannot vote to close the question using the correct reason.  It got me wondering if I had missed something, like an option to change my reason after voting. Does anybody know of any mechanism to do this?

For example...  I closed a vote for 'too broad'. But then I realized I wanted to close it as a specific duplicate of another question instead. So I retracted my close vote.  That worked. But I can't now vote to close as duplicate and the title says I already voted to close.  Maybe this is intentional but it doesn't feel that way.

Requested Feature  I'd like to get a notification when a question that I've voted to close (but isn't closed yet) is edited, so I can review the changed question and retract my close vote if appropriate.  Workings and Rationale  Questions can be voted to be closed for a number of (custom) reasons. Those reasons are requests to the OP to adjust their question — to make them less broad, to make them on topic, to provide a test case, and so on. The OP (or another user) may edit the question to address the issue, but the close votes remain. If another user casts the final vote, the question is closed, even though the original issue was resolved.  To prevent that, the close voters should be notified that the question was edited, so that they can review the edited question and adjust their vote accordingly.  This is for a question in the process of being closed only.  Related Feature Requests   Not a duplicate, since my request is about questions in the process of being closed, while that request is about questions that are already closed. That could notify users years after they've closed the question. That seems unnecessary and we have the regular re-open process to deal with it anyway.   Same request as mine, but (incorrectly, IMHO) closed as a duplicate of the former.

I asked  on the website. It was closed as being off-topic. The off-topic message says If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit your question or leave a comment. all of which I had done approximately 2 hours before the question was closed.  So I would like to know how do I ask the users who cast the vote to close the question after I had commented about the validity of the question about where else should I comment in order to fulfill the criterion regarding commenting in order to explain the question?

It seems that to some users, clicking "downvote" would be the way to cancel their upvote. However, if the user has insufficient rep, they receive an error message. Maybe clicking downvote should cancel an upvote (if available) and require a second click to actually downvote (after all, who is likely to go from a positive to a negative opinion?).  Obviously if there is no upvote set, downvote should immediately downvote.  For example, .

Possible Duplicate:                When a question is closed! It will highlight the reason for closure (ie, based on the maximum number of votes for a category is received)  considering the example below: if a question has received two close votes for being off-topic, two as well for not being a not-a-real question. Also someONE found it to be too-localized!  With total number of 5 close votes, question will be closed. But since both the number of off-topic votes and not-a-real question votes are equal ie 2. What will be the reason highlighted on the question after getting closed. Does it depend on the reputation of close voters?  like if (total reputation of close voters for off-topic &gt; total reputation of close voters for not-real-question) then close question as off-topic  This scenario ideally shouldn't happen! But if it happens then how it is handled and is this how it works?     two users have voted for off-topic and two for not-real .. the last   person chose too-localized. Then what will be the close reason?

As mentioned in , a question closed because it was not well-phrased is currently very unlikely to be reopened after an edit clarifying the issues. Those who voted to close should at least be asked to reconsider and reopen the question after such an edit.

I recently made an "oops" when I flagged a valid comment as off-topic, when I had meant to flag the question as an off-topic question that should be migrated. Unfortunately, unlike upvotes, downvotes, and other such features, there doesn't seem to be a way for the original flagger to remove an accidental flag.  Is there any mechanism to do this? Since human error is always a factor in any system, it seems like there should be a way for a flagger to undo such a mistake, especially in cases where the error is immediately recognized.

Voted to close a question based on "lack of minimal understanding".  Later realized the question was a duplicate.  How to I change vote to mark as duplicate instead?

Is there a way to undo when voting up (or down)?  If not, it would be useful.

Do not give the impression that all votes are unanimously in favor of the winning close-reason. I closed for "belongs on superuser," yet SO claims I closed for a completely different reason.  Source:

I'm wondering (since it just happened to me), is it possible to "cancel" ("undo", "delete", "retract", whatever) a flag I just raised if I misclicked it, so the mods won't waste time?  I looked everywhere, but I can't find such a feature.

So I received the following message today after clicking the 'Skip' button on a close vote review because I guess I took too long to vote on it and it said it was already closed when I tried to vote.     You have failed too many recent review audits – looks like you might need a break. Come back in 7 days to continue reviewing.   While the point might be valid because I do often fail the close vote review audits (though I'd generally argue that my way of voting was correct, though sometimes I take the fail as a correction), I'm unclear why I received this message after doing something other than fail a review audit. I believe at least something is wrong because of when this message popped up for me.  As a secondary note, my record is much better for other types of reviews and so it does feel unfair that I'm blocked from all reviews when close votes are the only thing I'm arguably not very skilled at.

I've found many questions here regarding this 'feature' and many answers explaining how it works, but none showing any 'philosophical' concept behind it. i.e., why is it here? Is it helping to make site better?  For example, just now I made a downvote, retracted it to think a bit more, left a comment with explanation and tried to downvote again. No game. And this is not the only real-life situation when value of this 'feature' is doubtful. There're plenty on this meta.  So, what was the primary reason to introduce it? A flow of people who change all their votes on daily basis?

I recently got  in the Close Votes queue (). Before I voted to close it, it had 2 votes to close it as a duplicate, 1 vote to close it as "off-topic" and 1 vote to close it as "unclear what you're asking". I voted to close it as "unclear what you're asking".  So at the end, there were two votes to close as a duplicate and two votes to close as "unclear what you're asking". According to , the last close vote will be used to determine the close reason in case of a tie. In this case, the last close vote was mine and the reason was "unclear what you're asking". But it was still closed as a duplicate.  What's going on here? Is this a bug? Is the answer I linked to wrong? Is there a special case for duplicates? Something else?

Undoing a Vote  There is a very brief window where you can undo a vote which allows you to take back a vote you accidently cast. After a brief time, it is "locked in" until the post is edited.  The Bug:  I see an old vote where the answer has been edited. I accidently click which undoes the vote. Oops. I can't immediately click again to re-do the vote. The system says the vote is too old.

It appears that it's possible to select the "Other" off-topic close reason, and vote to close without actually providing a close reason. This results in a custom close reason and comment which read:     This question appears to be off-topic because it is about     It should be required that someone actually alter the comment text before being able to submit the "Other" close reason.

I downvoted  and now really can't say why, so I wanted to remove my downvote. However, I get the message:  You last voted on this question yesterday Your vote is now locked in unless this question is edited  Why is this? I don't think I voted on it multiple times, and even when I did, I can change my mind, can't I?
