election for five non-permanent Security Council seats
The 2027 United Nations Security Council election will be held in mid-2027 during the 81st 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 2028.
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 will serve on the Security Council for the 2028–29 period.

Why this record matters
“2027 United Nations Security Council election” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, United, Nations and Security provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q125503861. The first chronological checks are 2027 and 2028.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
