The understanding is that electricity simply *passes* through a conductor pushing electrons but isn’t mass required to be able to “push”?? And while at it I wonder… Is there evidence of electricity being present in other planets? or in open space? Please ELI5

Yes! Lightning (which is a form of electricity, kind of) has been spotted on Jupiter and Saturn, and there is some evidence of it on Uranus, Neptune and Venus (although there seem to be [conflicting positions](https://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/venus-20071128.html) over [lightning on Venus](https://www.space.com/venus-missing-lightning.html)).
Electricity is just the flow of things with charge. Pretty much all stuff has some charge (or parts with charge), and lots of stuff moves around, so electricity is everywhere.
