Cheyenne County KS

Welcome To

Cheyenne County

THE HEART OF NORTHWEST KANSAS

WE ARE A FRONTIER RURAL COMMUNITY

The county is home to two main cities: Bird City with 447 residents and St. Francis with 1,329 citizens.  The balance of the county’s population is located in rural country homes, farms, or ranches.

We have a proud agriculture-based heritage with producers of wheat, corn, beef, poultry, pork, and other commodities.  Western Kansas is home to some of the most beautiful prairie in the state of Kansas with sunsets and sunrises that, in our humble opinion, just can’t be beat.  The county is abundant with wildlife including deer, pheasants, turkeys, and quail.  Archers and hunters enjoy our landscapes during hunting seasons.

CALENDER

Primary Election August 4th, 2026

In-Person Advance Voting

In-person advance voting will be held at the Cheyenne County Courthouse, Clerk’s Office, during the following dates and times:

  • Tuesday, July 28 – Friday, July 31: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
  • Monday, August 3: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

 

Advance Mail Ballots:

  • “Under Kansas statute, the deadline to return your ballot is the close of the polls on Election Day. A district court judge in Douglas County has entered a temporary injunction altering that deadline. However, the Secretary of State, represented by the Attorney General, has filed a motion with the Kansas Appellate Courts to stay the decision so that the deadline remains the close of the polls on Election Day. Because of the legal uncertainty while the matter is pending on appeal, voters are urged to return their ballots by the close of the polls on Election Day. Doing so will ensure that their ballots will be counted.”
