In the UN Security Council non-permanent member election on 3 June 2026, Germany received 104 votes, while Austria received more than 130 votes.

Omissions

• The exact vote count for Austria could not be independently verified from the accessible portion of the UN press release or from secondary news sources in the search results. Unofficial social media posts cite Austria receiving 131 votes, which is consistent with the claim of 'more than 130,' but these cannot be used as reliable sources.
• Portugal also competed for the same Western European and Others Group seats and was elected, receiving reportedly 134 votes. The MEP only mentions Austria and Germany, omitting Portugal's successful candidacy in the same regional group, which provides relevant context for Germany's defeat.
