Thanks Clive but it's not what I'm looking for. Score is a keyword I think. Maybe some other word but I need something like:
Tom: Voting score: 100
or
Mary: Score voting: 100

Score is not a word that is naturally used for voting. It suggests a game.

Please show me the kind of sentence you want to write.

Clive I much appreciate your try to help. Thanks. I want to create some website where visitors will vote for other websites on-line. So in the description about voting system will be written exactly:

Every site have "Voting Score" and can be voted up or down.

Because voting never stop, next to website description will be written actual result of voting exactly:

Website
0
I agree with Clive. Using "score" is not natural.

Number of votes.

I suggest simply this.

Website Name - score: 100
or
Website Name - votes: 100

Maybe I try to use word "vote" in wrong meaning. So maybe to use "voting result" instead or "rating score" I'm little confused now.
I can't use "number of votes:100" because 100 is a result of calculation it is not number of votes. I calculate votes on this way ( 0 + up - down ) so result of two votes can be 0 (up - down) 2(up+up) -2 (down - down).

So is it "voting" or "rating" and is
0
I suggest 'rating'.

Thanks Clive but if it is rating then result or rating is "rating score" or "rating result"? And can I write "Every website can be rated up or down" in the description?

I would just say 'rating'. If you really want two words, say 'rating result'
.
And can I write "Every website can be rated up or down" in the description? Yes
