Something being democratic is not the only criterion, because you wouldn't want your neighbors to vote in favor of collectively owning you as a slave, even if your vote against gets counted.
It's just one safety measure - if a politician still would win an election after 8 years (life changes entirely in only 1 year), for example, that's likely for wrong reasons. Like using administrative resource, pro-government mass media, crooked elites etc.
