On 10 March 2011, all Nunavut MLAs, with the exception of Moses Aupaluktuq and James Arvaluk who were absent, voted to suspend Komoartok until the spring session. His suspension arose after he was charged with "assault causing bodily harm" on his wife, Penena Mosesee, who was also charged with assault.[2][3][4]
On 15 March 2011, Komoartok announced that he was resigning as MLA for Pangnirtung. He first announced his resignation on the community radio and the hamlet issued a release supporting his resignation. A by-election for the seat was to be held within six months.[5][6][7]
