You should be choosing people who will make the right choice. Occasions when sudden change needs radically new information should be rare. If you ask me how "my" representative (MP Alan Whitehead, so arguably no longer "my representative" because there's an election next month and Parliament is dissolved) voted on an issue I didn't even know about, I can usually make a pretty good guess based on what I know about Alan.
e.g. taxes -- Alan doesn't like taxation as much as me, so "Increase tax on..." means probably that's a No from Alan. However, he does think we should soak the ultra-rich, so, while a tax on booze, cars, or even holiday homes would be a non-starter, Alan can probably get behind a plan to increase tax, say, on owning a private jet, or a new tax on billionaires.
