  statement swearing or affirming:
    1. that they are the victim of domestic violence;
    2. that they have been forced to leave their residence because of such
  violence; and

  or retained at the board of elections and cast and canvassed pursuant to
  the provisions of section 9-209 of this chapter as such board shall,  in
  its  discretion,  determine  by  resolution adopted at least thirty days
  before election day.
