If you downloaded the latest version it won't work because according to Electrum supported are 10.13 or higher version of OSX

If you can upgrade your Mac OS to a higher version or to 10.13 the latest version of Electrum should be work.

If you can't able to upgrade the Mac OS with a higher version you can try to download the lower version of Electrum from here https://download.electrum.org/
Just don't download the version lower than 3.3.4.

I honestly wouldn't run any sensitive software on such an outdated OS.

Your OS didn't receive any updates within the last ~3 years. You shouldn't store private keys on such an outdated system.
Actually it is quite good that electrum doesn't run on such an old OS. If at least a few people will realize how old their OS is through this, it already has been a win.

I am also a OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan) user. This version of macOS supports Electrum up to version 3.3.8.
Make sure you download from the official link, and also verify the GPG Signatures.

https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/

 

Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.
