All democracies have elections, but not all elections are democratic. In Russia, all candidates have to be approved by the Kremlin. It's very easy for them to disqualify or bar people from running, so you mostly end up with candidates that are so bad, they have no chance or candidates that basically just endorse people to vote for Putin.
