I think an increase in registration though is a sign that people want change. A person is more likely to register to vote a new person in, then just to vote for the incumbant.
Whomever they vote for though, this is a good thing. It's good to see people feeling like their say matters again, especially when they are deciding not only their own fate, but picking a person who influences the whole world. I hope if we get another election soon that our numbers will increase too as we're getting sickeningly low for turnout as well in Canada. Not quite U.S. levels, but give it 4 or 8 years...
