If parties are corrupt enough to require a picture, and voters willing to engage in this corruption, how do you, realistically, prevent this from happening?

Body cavity searches?

Fill out a Mafia-friendly ballot, take your picture, then spoil it and request a new ballot.
My general opinion is that mafiosos are clever and would already have figured out a way to get around such tactics.
That the Mafia can buy people to vote for their preferred candidates I think shows a failure of the political class. Why haven't politicians been able to deliver a government where what they're proposing is more valuable than a few dozen to hundreds of euros?
