On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you'll get the info.

I personally find this to be a good things, I've seen people using downvote way too easily. I like the idea that we need to be somehow accountable for those mechanism.

edit: It could be somehow improved to have an option to let this info only available between concerned users.

edit edit: I think that up/downvote info shouldn't be public, but kept private between the users involved. we need to address this privacy issue.

not answering directly to your post, just having a reflection about the state of things: if you check the thread we are in you can see that I'm almost always downvoted and you are always upvoted. just scroll back from here.

this is exactly the issue with this downvote culture inherited from reddit. the promotion of a single point of view and the exclusion of anyone trying to express something different from the constructed culture.

I'm all about deconstructing this.
