Yup. When you add an electron to one end of a wire, the change in the electric field will be felt very quickly (high percentage of light speed) across the wire and the electrons, now outnumbering protons, will repulse and want to shed the extra one from any point in the wire.

Like when you add an atom to a sealed gas container.
