I think if they are planning on discussing strategy before doing any legal work, then they may have the expectation of attorney-client privilege. Therein lies your conflict. You should do a conflicts check even if all you are going to do is listen to their thoughts about how to go about contesting any elections.
It is like meeting with a potential client for the first time. I ask them to tell me the name of any potentially adverse parties and I run a conflicts check before I will even listen to their problem.
