PLAIN ENGLISH

Writing in clear, direct English is particularly important in a business context. Please rewrite the following to improve its style and clarity:


Many people are of the opinion that voting in the civic elections in the city on October 18th may well be a waste of time, and in the event that almost nothing changes, it could also be a waster of money, but nevertheless, we must avail ourselves of the opportunity to vote whenever we can owing to the fact that we don't get many opportunities to influence the direction taken by any level of government.
