North Korea call itself the 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea'. That would suggest that the people of North Korea have the ability to vote. However this is not the case. A dictatorship is a government that has the power to govern without consent of those being governed. This government is usually one person or a small group of people.
No one knows how North Korea works, the internal political structure is unknown. However, as far as we can tell it is technically an Absolute Multi-Party Totalitarian Hereditary Military Dictatorship. Multi-Party Totalitarian basically means, one can vote but there is only one name on the ballet and anyone who attempts a different vote is named an enemy of the state and is arrested.
Hereditary Military Dictatorship means, that it is an inheritable dictatorship and a dictator controls the army. The people of North Korea honestly believe they live in a powerful country due to their dictators threatening countries like America. Though their threats are ludicrous, they have been given what they want, in the past as an appeasement.
