MO-participants should appreciate the difference between information about  +1 vote   and   +4 vs -3 votes.   This is especially the case of closed questions.

I hope that MO will implement the more complete way.

How do I view vote counts?

Voting scores, as displayed, are the sum of the up and down votes on a post. Vote counts are the individual up and down votes that make up the score.

You can view the vote counts by clicking on the score of a post. This will break the score into upvotes and downvotes, like so:

Whether that privilege should be available for users with less reputation as well is an eternal debate on Meta Stack Exchange.
