I was wondering, if we could remove our closed vote from a question after it is edited and have some added meaning?

I have voted for closing this question. Originally, when this question was posted, it was not much constructive and more likely it seems like an open ended discussion question.

But now this question has edited and seems quite useful to the community. So I want to remove my close vote as already there are 3 close votes and 2 more will result in closing the question. So, if there is any way to remove the close vote from a question?

This is one of the main reasons I tend to not be quick with close votes unless I do not think the question is salvageable. – enderland Nov 15 '12 at 1:32

You can't. However you can go to the Review page (link at the top of the page) and go through the Close queue and vote "Do Not Close"; if a post gets 3 Do Not Close votes it will be removed from the close queue, however others can still vote to close it.

In addition, once the question has 100 views, close votes will start expiring at a rate of one per day unless another close vote is added, at which point the 4-day timer resets. So if you're concerned about it, just check back in a week or so to make sure the votes expired, and if they didn't and the question got closed, just vote to reopen.
