A successful democratic system is supported by conventions of accountability, by separation of powers, a free press and relatively good education/literacy.
In a short time frame, a voting system can be set up in a new country - but the other aspects of the system take more time. Specifically, literacy and conventions of behavior take time.
That's my take on it anyway.
If a country has a voting system, only. That by-itself is not a viable democracy.
