This seems like a prime example of where forms either did not consider how people interact with mailers, or worse, did do so.

Here is the full context from the AL Secretary of State. My question is, did he do any testing of the mailer with actual people? Its possible this is just poorly designed, but its cheap and easy to test different options.

A lot of the time people ignore mail. With mail from government they still might not read everything, but skip to where they are being directed to do something (the big arrow canceling their registration in this case). Real potential for voter error here. 
Let's assume the goal is not to induce voter error here.
There is a community that studies human centered design and administrative burden. If your goal is to get people to accurately engage with these administrative processes, maybe draw upon that expertise.

Honestly, you don't really need to be an expert to see how this form would result in error. A bit of common sense would suffice. Governments have a legitimate effort in keeping the rolls current, but not in inducing voters to cancel their own registration
