Father-loving daughter might vote in even break (7)

I believe the answer is:

electra

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'father-loving daughter might' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'vote in even break' is the wordplay.
'vote in' becomes 'elect' (I've seen this in another clue).
'even' indicates alternate letters (even-numbered letters are used).
The alternate letters of 'break' are 'ra'.
'elect'+'ra'='ELECTRA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electra that I've seen before include "She sought vengeance" , "type of complex" , "Tragic daughter of Agamemnon" , "Female avenger" , "Sort of complex" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
