If a user who followed the question cast a close vote on the question, and that vote is not the last vote, they will receive a notification. If they cast the final vote, then will not receive a notification.

@YaakovEllis So a user who casts a close vote, but does not follow the question, will not get notified?

That is how I interpreted things from the start @TylerH. You need to be either OP or a follower of the Q to be notified.

@Luuklag It's how I'm hoping it was meant to be interpreted but since it's unclear based on the wording I wanted some explicit confirmation, because the alternative would be, IMO, pretty bad.

It would be very weird to send a notification about the closure that you were the last nail of.

@Braiam I agree. That's not what this answer is about.

For future readers - TylerH has since edited the wording of that bullet point in Yaakov's post to clarify this point accordingly, changing it to: "The OP or any follower who cast the last vote for closing the question". :)
