The two terms are necessarily opposite. Democratic is defined as supporting democracy and/or its principles, while nondemocratic is that which does not support or espouse democratic principles.
Democratic elections are characterized by the participation of citizens, respect for civil liberties, and the presence of multiple political parties competing fairly. Nondemocratic elections, on the other hand, are often marred by restrictions on participation, lack of political freedoms, and manipulation or control by a ruling elite or single party.
A democracy's citizens have a say in how the country is run, via elections to select politicians of opposing parties. They are also free to express publicly their own opinions even if critical of the government. A non-democratic state, or dictatorship, denies its citizens these rights and its elections are merely between members of the same ruling party.
