The Security Council president announced that "The 1st round of straw poll has taken place," and said that "the candidates will be informed of our results through the respective permanent representatives of nominating member states." The statement framed the poll as an internal step in council procedure rather than a public tally.
When asked for details on how results would be communicated, the president reiterated the council's process and declined to provide numerical results.

The session included follow-up questions about ballot format and timing of further rounds.
