2019 United Nations Security Council election
The 2019 United Nations Security Council election was held on 7 June during the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly, held at United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The elections are for five non-permanent seats on the UN Security Council for two-year mandates commencing on 1 January 2020.
In accordance with the Security Council's rotation rules, whereby the ten non-permanent UNSC seats rotate among the various regional blocs into which UN member states traditionally divide themselves for voting and representation purposes, the five available seats are allocated as follows:
- Two for the African Group
- One for the Asia-Pacific Group
- One for the Latin American and Caribbean Group
- One for the Eastern European Group
The five members served on the Security Council for the 2020–21 period.
Notably, St. Vincent and the Grenadines set a new record as the smallest ever Security Council member. Both St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Estonia were elected to the Council for the first time.
