Questions about the process of reopening a closed question.
Voting to Reopen is the process by which users can vote to reopen a closed question. You gain the ability to cast reopen votes when you reach 500 reputation. You can also view and cast reopen votes on your own questions if you have at least 250 reputation.
It takes 5 votes to reopen a question. Gold tag badge holders can single-handedly close and reopen questions as duplicates (source), and diamond moderators can instantly close or reopen any question.
Use the close-votes tag for questions about the process of closing a question.
