    Editing your user settings will allow you to turn on a third radio button. When that third radio button is enabled, you are able to unselect the upvote or downvote radio buttons. The feature you're requesting already exists.

    Tinkering with Super Search for a moment I found No way to clear voting forms? which explains it pretty well...again...

      ...and in case it isn't obvious, the setting is labelled "null vote", found in the Miscellaneous section of your user settings. Turn it on, and you get three buttons.

    At all times, exactly one of the radio buttons in a set is checked.

    Incidentally, some browsers actually follow spec on this. For example, if you're using Lynx, there's no way to vote for only some of the nodes on a page, unless you turn on your null vote setting. I have mine turned on for this reason -- not because I want to be able to change my mind, but because every once in a great while I get stuck in a Lynx-only scenerio for a few hours.

    From mine and others experiences, I have concluded that we should have link to Perlmonks Discussion node => "Read before requesting feature (It might already be there)" at Perl Monks Discussion page near posting area.
