@amWhy To be more precise, you can vote to close the same question, but there has to be some time period before you do that. (I guess you even get a message when you try to close to vote saying something like. "You already voted to close. You can vote to close again in .... days." I do not have a question where I could test this and see whether the message appears and what is the exact formulation.) Ping also to @Jack who mentioned closing a post after being reopened.
Also from Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange on 2015-03-02: "Aging votes and flags starts after 14 days, regardless of view count. Allowed re-casting votes and flags that've aged away after 14 days."
At least this is how I understood the explanation in the above posts. I remember for sure casting close vote on the same post again - but it was a post which was not closed and the close votes aged away. I cannot confirm from my own experienced whether the same thing happened for a post which was closed and reopened.
Maybe somebody can find something closer to this. Or perhaps somebody can confirm this in and experiment of they remember what happened in a situation like this.
@user21820 I have added a comment on that question explaining to the OP that they could (should) edit their question to get it reopened (or at least better received). We'll see whether they do anything about it. This is about 2425161 $x♦y = x^y - y^x$ brain teaser which you and Simply mentioned here a while ago.
Flimbo: As you can see, your post has several downvotes and was put on hold. Maybe if you edit your post to explain a bit better what was actually your problem, the question will be better received and maybe even reopened. (Judging by your comment on the answer, you now understand what you were doing wrong, but from your question it is rather unclear what you were actually trying.) — Martin Sleziak2 mins ago
I've noticed that question mainly because I was looking at old post which are still starred.
@SimplyBeautifulArt Thanks for letting me know. (And thanks to Did.) As the posts are now marked as duplicates, I flagged for merging - so it's now up to the moderators what happens with that post next.
@SimplyBeautifulArt Hmm. Looks like someone who has homework to turn in before the end of the day. :-/ Any way, the first of their post today is now closed, and now also has one delete vote, and the most recent question, I've voted to close, downvoted, and flagged as low quality.
@user21820 Done! Your last comment here: did you forget to include a link to the question or answer you're referring to, or were you referring to your preceding comment?

@SimplyBeautifulArt Oh... I failed to notice the "reply to" reference for that post.
@SimplyBeautifulArt Indeed that question is low-quality. I've voted to close, and currently it needs only one more close vote. I've pinned it so as not to get "lost" :-)
@SimplyBeautifulArt Note, the answerer has received two downvotes, (at which point I voted to delete), then an upvote (at -1 now).
@SimplyBeautifulArt Thanks for the FYI! Now open for deletion, which I suspect you may have voted, and I have, so we need a final delete vote there, @user21820, @Did, @Jack, @Xam, ....
Darn, @SimplyBeautifulArt I wish I had held off voting to close, because with the dupe you linked to, I could have dupe hammered the question. Argh! But at any rate, duplicates, like the one you found, are more readily closed.
@Xam Okay; I guess I've long forgot that the privilege to close question is tiered, in terms of the reasons for closure one first earns, etc.
@Xam I hadn't fully read your comment. There is no listed reason for closing as "low quality", for any one on this site, including me. I personally refer to questions lacking any context (as in PSQ's (problem statement questions)) as "low quality", but the reason I use to vote to close in such cases is "off topic - missing context" option.
In any case, my first comment of the two immediately above I don't think is relevant. When you get the privilege to close questions, you can do so like all others at your rep, or above it.
@SimplyBeautifulArt One more delete vote needed here, and upon its deletion, we can then vote to delete as we see fit, the following question: math.stackexchange.com/questions/2424458/…
The latter will not allow votes to delete, so long as the former exists.
