Electronic Voting

Can a motion be voted on electronically by our Board of Directors as long as the vote is ratified at the next regular Board meeting?

If absentee (e.g. electronic) voting is not authorized by your bylaws, this would not be an action of the board but the unauthorized action of individual board members which the board could ratify at its next meeting, assuming it was an action the board would have been authorized to take.

In general, most anything a Board of Directors can do INSIDE A MEETING can be ratified if that same act is initiated or completed OUTSIDE a meeting.

Beware of exceptions. - Some things have requirements above and beyond "ordinary acts of the society."

E.g., anything which requires notice might be trouble for instant ratification.

Extreme example:

Your treasurer robs a bank. - While this act could, in theory, be ratified, there are non-parliamentary problems to consider before you ratify your treasurer's enthusiasm to raise money for the cause.
