What happens if board of elections finds out that you're a registered voter but NOT a citizen

Do they send you a mail which explains that you should contact
the state attorney's office?

what are the chances of that person being sentenced to jail or deported?
is it possible to choose deportation if prosecution was decided?

The election board in your county probably doesn't do anything to check, so you're unlikely to hear from them. You can ask them to check if you're registered. Being registered to vote, but not voting, isn't really an issue if you didn't register knowingly. If you can get proof that you de-registered, that'd be very good for you when you go to your naturalization interview.
 
There have been isolated reports of states checking the voter rolls and when they find out non citizens on the list, they have prosecuted them. It is better to be proactive and remove your name ASAP.
 
Board of elections know about my situation...

Board of elections knows that I'm a permanent resident. I had some complicated situations and told them I was a permanent resident who was registered to vote without knowing that I shouldn't. They had told me that they'd be sending a mail.. would this be regarding prosecution? I have not voted.

The board will not prosecute you. Wait for the letter. I presume it'll be something to prove you're either registered or not.
