The electrical conductivity of the neutron star crust at low temperatures is calculated by taking into account the mixing of the electron wave functions due to the interaction with the crystal lattice of atomic nuclei. We show that the previously existed model of exponential reduction of the electron-ion scattering rate can lead to an overestimation of the electrical conductivity by several orders of magnitude. We propose a simple interpolation formula for use in applications that joins the previously known results of calculating the electrical conductivity at high temperatures with the low-temperature asymptotics found here.
