That’s not actually true. Anyone can easily see any posts I’ve upvoted here or for that matter see Gleb’s upvoted posts here. The Turk task asks for the usernames, which can then be checked to see which posts they’ve upvoted.
Oh, hey, another thing I didn’t know about. Thanks. Not surprisingly given that it’s a non-default preference, it seems not to be used much. (I checked the 15 people in the most-karma-in-30-days list and two had it enabled: NancyLebovitz and Capla.)

Yow, you’re right. So:
upvotes on articles are publicly visible (albeit clunkily)
downvotes on articles are not publicly visible
neither upvotes nor downvotes on comments are publicly visible (other than in the aggregate).
They are too iff the user has “Make my votes public” checked in their preferences. Same with upvotes.
