Welcome to OpenStudy. You mean when dissolved in water? Because they have free moving ions.
In solution, ionic compounds break apart into their component ions. Ions are charged particles and they conduct electricity.
Ionic compounds do not conduct in solid state. This is because they are held together by strong coloumbic forces. But in liquid state, they are free to move about as they get dissolved. Hence, they conduct electricity in solution.
