Can't think of the precise term but nobody is served by "one man, one vote, one time" "democracy." In other words, elect a totalitarian dictator who then abolishes democracy. It's not uncommon.

The institution is what matters, not the people who are elected. A properly set up institution has periodic elections, and the person who is voted out of office actually stands down voluntarily. That's how you'll know we accomplished it.
