The Board of Elections may tiptoe further into the 21st Century if it's ordered to update voters via email and text, but there's already some other new tech in town.

The famously lumbering agency has already begun making the switch from old-school punch cards to CityTime, the modern (though sometimes troubled) employee check-in system, agency leader Michael Ryan told the Daily News in a recent interview.

"Up until now, the Board of Elections had been processing old-fashioned timecards [and] that required a manual processing of the timecards ona weekly basis, [including] overtime and requests for leave," Ryan said. "Clearly the city of New York has been moving away from that [with] the implementation of CityTime."
