NO. Vietnam has never had truly free and democratic elections. In fact, the US was notable for effectively preventing voters in South Vietnam from voting for unification with North Vietnam in 1956.
I am not sure exactly what this question refers to. The US did not stop any elections during the Vietnam war. Certainly not in the United States. If the question refers to elections in Vietnam, actually in 1956 (before the US involvement), Ngo Dinh Diem stopped the elections called for in the 1954 Geneva Accords. It was only under US pressure, that he finally agreed to hold the elections which were held in 1959

A free democratic Republic of South Vietnam; pending elections.
Following the free elections in Vietnam, the two governments—North Vietnam and South Vietnam—reacted very differently. North Vietnam, led by the communist government, sought to consolidate power and promote its agenda, often dismissing the legitimacy of the elections held in the South. In contrast, the South, supported by the United States, viewed the elections as a means to bolster its legitimacy and resist communist influence, leading to increased tensions and conflict between the two regions. Ultimately, these divergent reactions contributed to the escalation of the Vietnam War.
