Not as a solid, but dissolve it in water and the ions help electricity conduct through the saltwater. Totally pure water will hardly conduct electricity. The impurities in the water are what allows current to flow.

Why is NaCl not electrically conductive?

In a solid sodium chloride ions are not free; in solution or melting sodium chloride become an electrolyte, with free ions.


Why does sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but a sodium chloride crystal does not?

In water sodium chloride is dissociated and the solution become an electrolyte, electrically conductive. The solid NaCl is not an electrolyte.
