UN releases voting procedure for June 17 elections

The United Nations has issued a new voting procedure for the election of its next General Assembly president slated for June 17 in New York.

Also to be elected the same day are five new nonpermanent members of the Security Council, and 18 new members of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

The new procedure is contained in a letter by the current President of the General Assembly, Amb. Tijani Muhammad-Bande, to ambassadors of the 193 UN member countries on Tuesday evening.

Muhammad-Bande had earlier informed them that the elections would hold in line with social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
