<h3>No,</h3> <p>Showing upvote/downvote counts by default was declined for performance reasons (performing twice the amount of database queries).</p> <p>To quote <a href="http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/1/jeff-atwood">Jeff Atwood</a>'s <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/1007/232872">answer here</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The total vote count (score) is denormalized, but the individual up/down vote counts are not.</p> <p>So to display it on every post would incur 2 vote table queries * number of visible questions / answers. Our DB is fast, but the vote table is pretty massive, and not doing a query is always faster than doing it.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <p>If you really want/need this, a userscript has been shared <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/53840/232872">here</a> which auto-clicks the vote counts once each second to get the totals.</p>
