I noticed on one of my questions there were 3 close votes before (a week or so before), and today when I looked at it the number had changed to 1. What does this mean?

"Reset"? Does the website use the word "reset" anywhere or could it be something else like close votes expiring?– badpCommented Jul 10, 2013 at 14:39

@badp Possibly. The close vote number was at 3 about a week or two ago, and when I looked at it today it was only at 1. So I figured that the number had been reset by someone or something.– user47129Commented Jul 10, 2013 at 14:40

I reworded the question to help prevent confusion.– user47129Commented Jul 10, 2013 at 14:42

Close votes expire after a while. I think this post is the current canonical source on how exactly that works:
Close votes (and probably reopen votes) only expire after all of these conditions are met:
- 4 days have passed since the last close vote.
- The question has more than 100 views.

Don't forget that three "Leave Open/Closed" votes also starts the decay.– FrankCommented Jul 10, 2013 at 14:56
