Generally no. Democracy is primarily the view that the interests of the many outweigh the interests of the few. People jointly vote and the option that receives the majority of the votes becomes the dominant law. However, one of the important aspects of liberal democracy is that there are some rights and responsibilities that are beyond the simple vote of the population and the minorities need to be protected from the majorities. These countermajoritarian requirements are those few times that the interests of the few must be elevated above the interests of the many.

Can a country be a electoral democracy and not be considered free?

Yes. We are not really free, and we don't have a true democracy. What we have is a representative democracy. We don't really make decisions. We elect people to make decisions for us, and they often have motives other than our best interests at heart. You might think of a good law that would help many, but if it is not politically expediant, no representative will sponsor it. Also, think of the many things we could say and do a decade ago that we cannot do now. We still have a representative democracy, at least at face value, but we continually seem to be losing freedoms.
