Anyone has the right to request accessibility to a website, mobile application or any element thereof.

If it is not possible to meet this deadline, the public entity shall immediately inform the requester when it will be possible to fulfill the request, but the deadline shall not be longer than 2 months from the date of the request. If it is not possible to provide digital accessibility, the public entity may propose an alternative way to access the information. If a public entity refuses to comply with a request to provide accessibility or an alternative way of accessing information, the requester may file a complaint about the provision of digital accessibility of a website, mobile application or an element of a website or mobile application.
