SAG-AFTRA’s national election committee has denied all protests over the re-election of Gabrielle Carteris to the SAG-aftra presidency in August.
Carteris won the contest handily to remain as top elected officer of the performers union with 13,537 votes, or 44% of ballots cast, compared to 10,682 for Matthew Modine; 5,048 for Jane Austin; 1,096 for Queen Alljahye Searles and 367 for Abraham Justice.
“We conclude that there was no violation of the SAG-aftra Constitution, the Election Policy, or federal election law,” the committee said in its ruling. “Accordingly, we dismiss all post-election protests.”
Los Angeles board member Brian Hamilton, who had filed one of the protests, confirmed the denial to Variety and said that he and other protestors would probably meet shortly to discuss filing a protest with the U.S. Department of Labor.

Exclusive: More than a dozen protests of Gabrielle Carteris’ re-election as president of SAG-aftra have been dismissed by the union’s national election committee.
“We conclude that there was no violation of the SAG-AFTRA Constitution, the Election Policy, or federal election law,” the committee found. “Accordingly, we dismiss all post-election protests.” Read the committee’s full decision here.
With the exhaustion of their internal union remedies, the protestors now are taking their complaints to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Many of the protests of the bitterly contested election contained overlapping allegations, including the claim that Carteris received an improper employer contribution through her work as an executive producer and cast member on Fox’s BH90210, in which she played a version of herself as president of the fictional Actors Guild of America. The show, a reboot of Beverly Hills, 90210, premiered during the union’s election.
