No.

This is a fundamental issue. In a theocracy, what is proper law or improper law is determined by those who can interpret the will of the divinities. This can either be a god-king or a cadre of priests or holy men. The god-kings are the result of a hereditary line and the priests are the result of a narrow and decades-long self-selection process. Both of these are thoroughly undemocratic as they do not express the will of the people, but the will of these minorities or of the gods they supposedly represent.

There are countries like Iran that claim to have a mix of theocratic elements and democratic elements, but in reality, the democratic elements are more for show and lack actual force.
