drop them in a sink filled with extremely hot water, after letting them sit a few min. the wax will lift right out.

I often put votive holders in the freezer for about an hour, and the remaining candle pops right out. This may work, if there's quite a bit of wax left in your holders
I know another method that will work, but you'll have to be careful. Place the votives on old newspapers and use a hair dryer on low heat to melt the wax. Don't hold the dryer too close, or the wax may melt too quickly, blow out, and make a mess. As the wax melts, wipe it out with paper towels. Then clean the votives well with glass cleaner or soapy water when all the wax is removed.

Exert from websight below:
"The best thing to do with glass votive holders is to prevent the wax buildup in the first place. If you place a tiny bit of water in the bottom of the glass votive prior to placing the candle inside, it should prevent the wax from sticking to the votive."

Try putting them in the dishwasher
The only way to rid the wax is heat
