Selenium WebDriver python: checkbox cannot click, default the checkbox is invisible and when hover it can be visible
If there is a find by class option in Selenium(I know there is one in splinter) then try doing find_element_by_class_name("selectArea") (or whatever you would use in Selenium to find elements on a page) The box just checks your cursors position and if that is in the select area and you click it will count that as checked. I hope that makes sense.
