If your question refers to a state supreme court justice, and if your state provides for election to their supreme court rather than appointment, you can vote when you turn 18 (per the Twenty-Sixth Amendment of the US Constitution), provided you register properly before the election.
If you are asking about US Supreme Court justices; they are nominated by the President and confirmed or rejected by Senate vote, not elected. The electorate (voting public) does not play a direct role in the appointment of justices to the US Supreme Court.
