Councillor Robert Bell and Isabel Strutt both nominated for the position.
Voting by way of secret preferential ballot, returning officer and general manager Andrew Hopkins gave the ballot papers a good shuffle in a cardboard box.
“This is the most fun you can have in my job,” Mr Hopkins said.
After a quick count of the votes, Ms Strutt was elected in the Uralla Shire Council meeting on Tuesday.
“Congratulations councillor Strutt,” mayor Michael Pearce said.
Ms Strutt will be deputy mayor under mayor Michael Pearce for one year, until September 2018.
