A theocracy is not a democracy; being ruled by God (or by His representative) is not the same as being ruled by the majority of voters. However, it is possible to combine democracy and theocracy. In Iran, for example, there is a Supreme Council of Ayatollahs which is the ultimate authority, and can overrule any decision of the Iranian government, however, there is also an elected Iranian government. So Iran does have elections, but the elections do not really matter since the real power in the country is an unelected body of clerics.
