The decision by the city's Campaign Finance Board, which oversees the debates, was made Sunday night, hours after the candidates, in a rare joint statement, said, "This day should be marked with solemn reflection and remembrance."
The statement continued, "This is the most respectful and appropriate way to honor the memories of those who were lost, and to stand with those who are still struggling to recover."
In a statement, Amy M. Loprest, the board's executive director, said: "The next mayor will be responsible for helping the affected families recover, and for helping a wounded city become more resilient. The first anniversary of Sandy's landfall can serve to focus this discussion about the future of our city. Out of respect to those who are still rebuilding, we join all New Yorkers in commemorating the storm on Tuesday."
The debate will now be held on Wednesday at 7 p.m., and will be broadcast on WNBC Channel 4 and other television, radio and online outlets. Unlike the first two debates, this one will run for 90 minutes, though the last half-hour will not be seen on network television.
The decision came as a surprise. Until this past weekend, neither Mr. Lhota, a Republican, nor Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, had formally requested that the debate, which was announced in June, be changed because of the hurricane. But both candidates warmed to the idea over the weekend after visiting areas of the city hit hardest by the storm.
