Some 2.7 million eligible voters also cast ballots for Parliament and a contentious referendum on overhauling the social security system.
Electoral officials reported to local media a turnout of more than 88 percent by the time polls closed in the country.
Results were expected to be announced within a few hours .
The electoral contest has largely focused on the rise in homicides and robberies.
Voters are also concerned about the one in five Uruguayan children living in poverty and the low rate of high school graduations.
A constitutional referendum that would overhaul Uruguay ’s social security system is more divisive than the presidential race.
