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,[1] the five available seats are allocated as follows:

The five members will serve 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.[2] Both St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Estonia were elected to the Council for the first time.
