Pertaining to the issue of democracy Muslims around the world have different views. Those who oppugn the democratic system of governance, generally, belong to Muslim countries that are governed by kings or dictators who keep clinging to the throne until they die and after their death their sons or close relatives capture the power-game. People have no role to elect their rulers. According to them democracy is haram and unislamic and so Muslims who reside in non Muslim countries where people themselves elect their rulers/representatives to rule the country should not participate in elections make the issue more complicated.
