With 100% turnout of any eligible voter, you'd expect just 33% of that cohort to be 2016 non-voters. This stat could indicate a couple of different things, namely:

1. There's a surge of youth turnout, from those who've turned 18 since the last election and/or those who were 18 but didn't vote.
2. Mail-in ballots are being disproportionately utilized by college students who are residents of Georgia but don't live at home and can't vote early in-person or on election day. Those students are likely to be 18-22 and wouldn't have been able to vote in the last election.

I'm guessing it's mostly #2 but I think we will see an increase in youth turnout this year relative to other cohorts.
