Answer 1

Try this:

$.ajax({
    url:'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2272337/send-minus-from-jquery-to-php-page',
    type:'POST',
    data: 'vote="-1"'
});

Using data: {vote:"-1"} seems to convert "-1" to a numeric value.

Answer 2

Try this:

var vote_val = -1
$.ajax({
    url: "http://your-url.com/goes/here.php",
    type: "POST",
    data: { vote: vote_val }
});
