Stack Overflow is the only site I have enough reputation to be allowed to see the upvote/downvote split.
I wish I could do this on all Stack Exchange sites.
Could you please reduce or eliminate the amount of reputation required for this privilege?

Why would you want that?– randomCommented Dec 20, 2010 at 1:34

Okay, but you'll have to come up with an alternative for rewarding people that hit 1K rep. Too many t-shirts btw.– Uphill LugeCommented Dec 20, 2010 at 2:07

3@JonSeigel, not a duplicate, because this here is a feature request, whereas that one was just asking why things were that way, tagged support.– MvGCommented Jul 22, 2012 at 23:29

1@random. One thing that comes to mind is that on low traffic site a good answer can easly stop at two upvote. IMHO, knowing that the displayed 2 is +2/-0 or +3/-1 can help. Since many feel that they don't have to explain the -1 (so no comment stating what is wrong), losing even the info that the -1 is there in my view isn't desiderable. A -1 on a total of 3 votes can easly indicate that there IS an hidden pitfall somewhere in the proposed solution.– ꓢPArcheonCommented Jan 24, 2013 at 10:47

I see no reason for the restriction to be there for one's own posts (we already know the +/-, so calculating isn't that hard), at the very least.– shad0w_wa1k3rCommented Aug 19, 2017 at 13:19

That's just the rep amount you need to be able to see it easily.
IIRC, you can see the up/down-vote breakdown for any question by going to /posts/question-id/timeline.
For instance, you can see the breakdown for this question itself at https://meta.stackexchange.com/posts/72743/timeline.
(It's currently at +1/-1)

Maybe this proposal should then be change to make both visibilities to sync up in terms of required reputation; one way or another.– PlasmaHHCommented Apr 23, 2014 at 11:57
You can view vote totals with a simple userscript. No 1k rep is required and on sites where you have 1k, this does essentially nothing.
With that there's no requirement at all.
Anyway, I think association bonus is a good threshold for seeing vote split. Whoever has an assoc-bonus can edit community-wikis on a newly-joined site.

1I'd rather not depend on a userscript that can break on a small change by Stack Exchange, but good to know that it's possible to request this info from the API, because that's another reason to get rid of the reputation requirement.– StijnCommented Aug 14, 2017 at 12:59
An alternative option, that I suggested here:
Make it a privilege to earn the view vote counts privilege on every site.
This could have a higher threshold than the normal view vote counts privilege, for example 7.5k. That means, if a user reaches 7.5k on any site, then they can split votes on any site in the network.
