Part of Hollywood will go to the polls Tuesday to elect its next Los Angeles City Council representative, leaving the city's governing body more diverse no matter who wins.
The residents of Council District 4 will choose between David Ryu, a community health administrator, and Carolyn Ramsay, who worked for outgoing councilman Tom LaBonge. The district encompasses parts of Hollywood, North Hollywood, the Miracle Mile and all of Griffith Park
Tuesday's result will tip the scales of City Council's demographics. If Ryu were to replace LaBonge, he would be the only Asian councilmember, while Ramsay would be one of two women in the 15-person council.
Tuesday's election is a runoff; Ryu and Ramsay each grabbed about 15 percent of the vote in March, topping a crowded field of 14 candidates running for the seat.
LaBonge served 14 years as the District 4 councilman, but was termed out of office.
