The 2022 United Nations Security Council election was held on 9 June 2022 during the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly, held at United Nations Headquarters in New York City.[1] The elections are for five non-permanent seats on the UN Security Council for two-year mandates commencing on 1 January 2023. 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,[2] the five available seats are allocated as follows:
