I can be relatively OCD about voting, but it’s important to me to either:
know that not voting for a post is equivalent to voting zero, or
be able to cancel a vote.
Based on the current UI, it looks like I can’t not vote for a post after I’ve voted for it. And with quadratic voting, if my votes are normalized in certain ways (e.g., such that their mean is zero), then there is a big difference between not voting and voting zero.
(I assume votes won’t be problematically normalized; e.g., if someone only gives upvotes, it should boost all of those posts relative to the posts they don’t vote on. But wanted to make sure.)

I’m checking in with the LW team about these questions — I’ll update this answer and send you a DM to notify you when I have an update.
