How can I change it so checkboxes instead of text appear?

How can I change it so checkboxes instead of text appear ? Now the user can search for Canada and the app shows the user the text canada. Now I want to but that instead the text I can find checkboxes.

How does this work?

Thank you very much!

Best Regards, Fabian
