Some Indiana residents have raised the question that it may not be.
He’s using the governor’s mansion as his address, however, the governor’s mansion has had a new occupant for some years.
“ Under Indiana law, a person cannot have residency both inside and outside of the state, so Hoosiers have questions.
...
Pence's team cites Indiana Code 3-5-5-1, "A person does not lose residency in a precinct in Indiana by reason of a person's absence on business of the United States. But the state's residency law also says in IC 3-5-5-9, "if a person is physically present within another state with the intention of remaining in the other state for an indefinite time...the person loses residency in the precinct…"
Per the article, Pence’s team has not said whether he plans to return to Indiana, but he owns no property there and since he lives in “temporary government-provided housing” his address reverts to his last legal address, which is the governor’s mansion.
Of course, they’ll let him and Mother vote, but, seriously?
I can't see any problems: i would want to see someone challenge his residence for voting purposes. Living in DC in temp, VP quarters is not a permanent residence. I have never heard of a VP or Pres not voting in their home state.

From the article it seems like the question is does Pence actually have a legal residence in Indiana and where is it? Based on voter records, it appears the address Pence is using as his legal address is the Governor's Mansion.

Exactly.
He owns no property in Indiana and hasn't been governor for several years.
Odd that he still claims that as his residence.
I will assume that Mr. Pence remains eligible to vote in his home state.
Indeed, a similar question may be asked of President Trump, whom last year declared residency in Florida, at that country club (Mar something), although the agreement with the city council stated that he may 'never' declare that country club his residence, in pursuant to an agreement he made.
