  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 Africa
  One for the Asia-Pacific Group
  One for Latin America and the Caribbean
  One for the Eastern European Group
  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. Both St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Estonia were elected to the Council for the first time.
