No because for electrolysis to take place, an electrolyte or ions like table salt ( NaCl ) is needed. But in distilled water there are no ions or electrolytes. Hence electrolysis cannot take place in distilled water.

Can distilled water be electrolysed?

Yes, distilled water can be electrolysed. Water always contains a few hydrated hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions from self ionization. There can also be some chloride ions because hydrogen chloride can distil over with water. However, the concentration of ions is extremely low so electrolysis is very slow.
