Details

Please note that the form AR21 has recently been redesigned and the main changes are as follows:

Electronic form (e-form)

The changes made to the electronic form are intended to reduce costs associated with printing and storage, and eliminate costs associated with distributing pre-printed forms. You will be able to complete the new e-form more easily, accurately and efficiently as it has been formatted to calculate information for you.

Ballots and Industrial Action Spreadsheet

If you have had more than 6 entries for either Ballots or Industrial action, you will need to complete the Ballots and Industrial Action Spreadsheet which can be downloaded from our website.

Acceptance of electronic signatures

You can now use electronic signatures in the form. When signing the document electronically, use “insert tool” to insert your electronic signature.

How to submit your electronic form AR21 and Spreadsheet
