Historical Notes
On the morning of September 11, 2001, polling stations in New York City opened at 6:00 a.m. Primary elections were being held for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, and other city offices. Later that morning, after the terrorist attacks began to unfold, Governor Pataki mandated the closing of the polls and suspension of the election.
