Sažetak

This paper attempts to make a hierarchical assessment of graphic protection in order to enhance its use. It was established that the most common types of approved protection are also the best known ones and that their implementation enhances protection efficiency on products which are often counterfeit. Printing offices, publishers and design authors will protect their high demand products which are subject to counterfeiting by optimizing printing technology, implementation expenses and efficiency of the protection system. By means of a system of questioning and data processing, we created a scale of values of protective graphic technologies, inks and graphic materials. A survey showed that a large number of examinees believes in the possibility of counterfeit ballot papers and a hypothesis was tested which proved that 95% of citizens think that protective graphic techniques should be used to prevent the counterfeiting of ballot papers. We therefore recommend the individualization of ballot papers and the implementation of invisible graphics. It has been proved that citizens would have more confidence in the democratic elections if guaranteed the protection of ballot papers, which would finally result in the increased number of turnouts.
