Yes, electrostatic force obeys Newton's third law; equal and opposite.

Example 1: the electrostatic force on a single Na+ due to a single Cl- in a crystal of NaCl is the same magnitude but opposite in direction.

Example 2: the electrostatic force on a single Na+ due to a single SO4^2- in a solution of Na2SO4 is the same magnitude as the force on the SO4^2- but in the opposite direction.
