As a long and contentious race for mayor of the nation’s largest city comes to a close, New Yorkers are deciding on Tuesday between two candidates who offer sharply divergent visions for how to move the city out of the pandemic and into a new era, following eight years of the de Blasio administration.

Mr. Adams, a former police officer who pressed for reforms from within the system, has run a campaign tightly focused on public safety, which he hoped would resonate across the city.
