How many votes to close?

Question

In this post, the first "close vote" needed 4 more for it to take effect. Now, though, that close vote needs 24 buddies to get anywhere.

Why? What is it that determines the necessary number of votes?

(Note: I'm just curious. I'm explicitly not griping about the fact that I did receive a close vote.)

that close vote needs 24 buddies to get anywhere.

What do you mean by this? Questions always need 5 (non-moderator) close votes to close.

Are you seeing the "X votes remaining" option - this refers to your votes remaining. So you could vote to close up to 24 questions.

Ah, yes that's what I see. So I could vote to close 24 (presumably other) questions? Got it, that makes sense.

@KlaymenDK yup. That's.. not super clear when you VTC a question, now that you mention it
