Load known jurisdictions matching subdivision names

Parameters:

  • state (str, optional) – Optional state name used to filter matching jurisdictions. Matching uses the same normalized comparison applied to the subdivision names. By default, None.

  • jurisdiction_info (pandas.DataFrame, optional) – DataFrame containing jurisdiction info. If None, this info is loaded using load_all_jurisdiction_info(). By default, None.

Returns:

pandas.DataFrame – Rows from the canonical jurisdiction data whose subdivision names match the requested names.
