Result
The election was managed by the then-President of the United Nations General Assembly Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium. On this date, the United Nations had 54 member states, Afghanistan, Iceland, and Sweden having been welcomed to the organization earlier during the same meeting (for a timeline of UN membership, see Enlargement of the United Nations). The election was done using a list of United Nations member states. From the list the eight current members of the Security Council were removed (the Permanent Five and Australia, Brazil, and Poland) and also the three members that could not stand for immediate re-election (Egypt, Mexico, and the Netherlands). Heads of delegations were asked to mark with a cross the square opposite the name of each member for whom they wished to vote. Voting was conducted on a single ballot. Ballots on which more than three states were marked were invalidated.
