Incumbent Republican Joseph Limon won another three-year term on the Franklin Borough Council on Tuesday night and newcomer Robert C. Dabinett was elected to fill the seat vacated by Councilman Mark Zaschak, who did not seek re-election.

Challenger Sarah Zydon grabbed the third seat with 552 votes. Incumbent board President Mariluz Alonso finished fourth with 531 votes.

Lynne Pedersen received the top amount of votes with 357, while Stacy Walsh received 354. Challenger Toni Corban was elected with 344 votes. Incumbent Nina Sutera finished fourth with 251 votes.
