down-vote vs down vote

Both "down-vote" and "down vote" are correct, but their usage depends on the context. "Down-vote" is commonly used as a compound verb in online platforms to indicate the action of voting negatively on a post or comment. On the other hand, "down vote" can be used when referring to the act of voting negatively without the hyphen. Both forms are acceptable, but "down-vote" is more commonly seen in online settings.
