An estimated 36,000 Marshallese voted in the election. Final results were not known until after 5 December 2011, when overseas ballots were due.

Results indicated the incumbent president was likely to have the same one-vote majority in parliament he had before the election.

Health minister Amenta Matthew and former foreign minister Gerald Zackios lost reelection due to postal ballots.

A tie in the race for the Ujae Atoll seat was only broken after a recount.
