RIO DE JANEIRO — Some of the globe’s biggest users of social media, Brazilians snap selfies at the beach, at soccer matches, at the gym, in maternity wards and even inside the dens of drug-dealing gangs.

But at least one place in Brazil is off-limits to the selfie: the voting booth during Sunday’s elections.

Under Brazilian law, it’s illegal to take filming devices into voting booths, and the main reason is to combat vote buying.
