I prefer "dividing the one vote equally among them."
Decimal, rather than fractional, calculations are sufficiently accurate.
Of course round down, not up, for those calculations, and for reporting
the final results.
IMO, in voting situations, alphabetical order should never be used.
(Even outside of voting situations, I strongly dislike alphabetical order.)
