At what point should data be sent back to server?

A good example would be the stackexchange "rate" button. When a post is upvoted the arrow changes color immediately. However there is a grace period for one to edit one's vote decision (oops! voted by mistake?). Is the upvote action processed immediately or does is only process after a set time period, or when the user leaves the page? How exactly is this rating processed?
What is the standard for handling dynamic page edits (e.g. stackexchange rating, facebook posts?)
