Greater turnout on election days merely means greater turnout on election day.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

The ratio of voters to non-voters changes very little. It need not change the results at all unless the new voters are making different choices than the old. Furthermore, FPP has all the same problems with 90% participation that it does with 50%, And given how little regard for popular vote results our politicians have, I really don't see "more voters" affecting their decisions. Maybe it will scare them, maybe it will encourage them.

Some of the most politically involved people I know refuse to vote. And many of the most apathetic insist on it. Voting does not equal caring.
