In traditional Election Day fashion, the two mayoral candidates started the day by casting their ballots — presumably for themselves.

The Democrat, William C. Thompson Jr., the city comptroller, voted at 7:20 a.m. in Public School 242, on West 122nd Street in Harlem, not far from his home. He was accompanied by his wife, Elsie McCabe, and 12-year-old stepdaughter, Erin.

About the same time, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg walked two blocks form his town house on East 79th Street to P.S. 6 on East 81st Street to cast his ballot.
