Youth voter registration has surged in the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., earlier this year, according to a new TargetSmart analysis seen on Hill TV's "Rising."

The analysis, released on Thursday, found that voter registration among 18- to 29-year-olds has increased across the U.S. by 2.16 percent.

Florida saw an eight-point increase in voter registration, which could have a major impact on the state's upcoming gubernatorial and Senate races.

Pennsylvania, which will hold gubernatorial, Senate and House races, also saw youth voter registration skyrocket by 16 points.

President Trump won Pennsylvania and Florida in the 2016 presidential election.

Other states such as Arizona, Virginia, Indiana and New York saw increases in voter registration among young people.

Seventeen people were killed and several others were injured after a gunman opened fire at the Florida high school in February.

The shooting's aftermath saw an increase in youth activism, with people demanding stricter gun control laws across the country.

Target Smart analyzed voter registration in 40 states where voter rolls have been updated since Feb. 14, the day of the shooting.
