    An Electronic Voting System with Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)- Based Blockchain Using ShimmerEVM
    (El-Amin University Journal of Computing (EAUJC)., 2024-04-07) Maliki. D., C. Oruche, I. M. Abdullahi, B. G Najashi, O. R. Isah
    This research introduces an innovative electronic voting system that enhances transparency, anonymity, and reliability, aiming to revolutionize both traditional and existing electronic voting methodologies. The system increases accessibility, security, and efficiency in the electoral process. Advanced web development technologies, including NextJs, TailwindCSS, TypeScript, and JWT tokens, are integrated for an improved e-voting experience. This system employs encryption and cryptographic hashes to secure sensitive information, alongside smart contracts on ShimmerEVM— a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based blockchain—to ensure data persistence and immutability. A user-friendly front-end interface serves as a portal to the web application, enabling seamless interaction with the ShimmerEVM network. A critical feature of the system is the activation of a biometric hardware component, essential for voter registration and participation. ShimmerEVM facilitates the execution of smart contracts, offering a decentralized, transparent, and secure environment without relying on traditional blockchain technology. The focus of this system is on the implementation of security-centric smart contracts, which are pivotal in maintaining voting data integrity and mitigating the risks of vote count manipulation.
