Certainly several sections already use (or have done) polls (it's a choice their members have made) as a tool to do just that - though I don't think any have made the jump to allowing people to join the meeting remotely - and that last bit surprises me really.
It'd only take One person to make the proposal along with the strap line of "and come along on the day to make it work too" and I reckon it might just get voted in.. at least on a sectional basis.

Jim, totally agree, conference calling, webinars etc are massive in business these days, recently, the company I work for did a £1,500,000 refinance on a clients property portfolio, the clients came to the office once, the rest was done via email, skype etc. Technology can make the voting process much more inclusive rather than (for lack of a better word) exclusive (to those who can attend).
As for regionals, some regions struggle with numbers to get decent heats and ability mixing so by excluding people from the regional heats just makes things worse, I much prefer to include people because in the end, if they are going to be racing as billy no mates, they won't come, that's more drivers lost and revenue for the club.
