Voting closed on Friday Aug 14 and Holloway came in top with 778 votes over Jeffrey Walker's 397.
The vacancy in the West Ward – which covers western Hurunui including Waikari, Culverden, Waiau and Hanmer Springs – was created when Cr Jason Fletcher resigned amid revelations he was investigated over a prank with a knife.
Holloway said she was “humbled and grateful” to be able to serve her community.
"I am North Canterbury born and bred and aware of the district’s rural and farming needs,” she said in a statement.
A by-election will now be held to replace the extraordinary vacancy on the Hanmer Springs Community Board created by Holloway’s new position.
