Well… that is a first. In yesterday’s parliamentary elections in Denmark, painter and provocateur Kristian von Hornsleth tried to bribe voters into voting for the Enhedslisten party.

On his Instagram account he offered artworks for votes if voters photographed their vote, proving that they had indeed voted for Enhedslisten.

Obviously, this is a violation of the Danish penal code and punishable by up to 2 years in prison.

Yesterday, Hornsleth was arrested and charged by Copenhagen Police.

Polling places should have a stack of prefilled ballots for photo ops, one with an X at each party (ideally each person), with a large "invalid" stamp on the parts of the ballot that you are not taking a picture of.

Bonus points if they are filled in manually at the polling place, so the X will be different.

That would make it hard enough to prove anything that offering to pay for photos would be useless.
