Answer:

Human rights are rights that are possessed by the right-holder simply in virtue of the right-holder being human. The philosophical foundation of human rights is complex, but they are generally thought to be the rights that are most basic for humans to live lives of minimal agency. So rights not to be tortured, rights to form families, and so on. They are thought to be especially basic for human existence.

Democratic rights are rights that are necessary to have a well-functioning democracy. There are narrow and expansive understandings, but generally they would be more expansive than simple procedural stuff like voting and formal political equality. So you’d need the right to form political parties, protections for a free press (so that voters can be informed etc) and so on.

Note here that it would be possible to care about human rights but not democratic rights. Maybe it’s not important to have a well functioning democracy. There could be non-democratic societies that nevertheless respect human rights (imagine a benevolent dictator). So democratic rights are in some sense more contingent than human rights.

Now maybe it could be argued that democracy itself is in some sense a human right, and that therefore democratic rights are human rights too. But that would be a reasonably controversial thesis.
