Like all previous elections to the Parliament of Northern Ireland, it produced a large majority for the Ulster Unionist Party.

It was the first held after the abolition of proportional representation and the redrawing of electoral boundaries to create single-seat constituencies.

As with the rest of the United Kingdom, this has made it more difficult for independent and minor party candidates to win seats.

Ulster Liberal Party result is compared to Unbought Tenants' Association in 1925.

In 22 of the 52 seats (42%), only one candidate stood and they were elected unopposed without any votes cast.
