The '''1997 United Nations Security Council election''' was held on 14 October 1997 at [[United Nations Headquarters]] in [[New York City]] during the 52nd session of the [[United Nations]] [[United Nations General Assembly|General Assembly]]. The General Assembly elected five non-permanent members of the [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]] for two-year terms commencing on 1 January 1998.

The five candidates elected were [[Bahrain]], [[Brazil]], [[Gabon]], [[Gambia]], and [[Slovenia]] with Bahrain, Gambia and Slovenia being elected for the first time.

==Geographic distribution==
In accordance with the General Assembly's [[United Nations Regional Groups|rules for the geographic distribution]] of the non-permanent members of the Security Council, and established practice, the members were to be elected as follows: two from Africa, one from Asia, one from Latin American and the Caribbean Group (GRULAC), and one from the [[Eastern European Group]]. By unofficial custom, the seat from Asia was to be filled by a member of the [[Arab League]], as the previous holder of the "Arab seat" was African Egypt.

==Candidates==
There was a total of six candidates for the five seats. The only seat contested was that of the Eastern European Group: [[Republic of Macedonia|The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia]] and Slovenia competed for the one available seat. The other groups all had a number of candidates equal to the number of seats to fill: Gabon and Gambia for the two African seats, Bahrain for the one Asian seat, and Brazil for the one GRULAC seat.

==Results==

Voting proceeded by secret ballot. For each geographic group, each member state could vote for as many candidates as were to be elected. There were 174 ballots in each of the three elections.
